Prime Minister Narendra Modi led Russian President Vladimir Putin, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian and other BRICS leaders at the Business Forum in New Delhi on Friday, projecting unity and calling for stronger trade, investment and business cooperation. Modi was seen holding hands with Pezeshkian as leaders walked side-by-side along a red-carpet corridor displaying BRICS INDIA 2026 branding. The forum was held a day before the BRICS Summit. Pezeshkian said BRICS must convert economic capacities into practical cooperation amid geopolitical uncertainty, supply-chain disruptions and economic pressure. Modi said BRICS represents 50 per cent of population, 40 per cent of GDP and over 25 per cent of trade, highlighting its growing economic strength. (PC: ET)
