India’s 2026 BRICS chairmanship seen as pivotal for Global South’s influence

India’s 2026 BRICS chairmanship is seen as a pivotal moment for the Global South’s push for reform in global governance, as experts discussed at a high-level conference in New Delhi. The conference, titled An Emerging BRICS Vision for the Global South, focused on how the expanded BRICS grouping can drive a more equitable global order and South-South cooperation.

India’s upcoming chairmanship is seen as an opportunity to articulate a vision for the Global South, advancing cooperation in areas like finance, technology, and energy transition. Officials emphasized the importance of using BRICS Plus to foster collaboration in critical sectors such as renewable energy and digital infrastructure.

Speakers highlighted the need for a new paradigm in multilateral cooperation, with BRICS playing a crucial role in reshaping global trade, finance, and technological sovereignty. As the Global South gains influence, experts noted that BRICS could become a stabilizing force in a fragmented geopolitical landscape, moving beyond declarations to actionable partnerships.
