Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian will visit New Delhi to attend the 18th BRICS Summit in September, Iranian sources said on Friday. India is hosting the summit under its 2026 BRICS chairship. The event will focus on resilience, innovation, cooperation and sustainability. Pezeshkian last met Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the BRICS Summit in Russia in October 2024. Iran became a full BRICS member in 2024. Earlier in June, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi visited India for a BRICS meeting. He said India could play a bigger role in reducing tensions in West Asia and welcomed any constructive role by New Delhi.
