India is facing a delicate diplomatic challenge as it hosts the 2026 BRICS Summit in New Delhi. Prime Minister Narendra Modi must balance India’s strategic partnership with the United States while maintaining important relations with Russia and China, which are pushing for changes in the global order. Iran’s participation adds another layer of complexity amid its conflict with the US, involving regional powers such as Saudi Arabia and the UAE. The summit brings together countries with competing geopolitical interests. India’s handling of these tensions will test its long-standing policy of strategic autonomy and its ability to build consensus within BRICS. (PC: India Today)
