The BRICS group of countries has agreed on a joint declaration for the ongoing summit as Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced adoption of BRICS Delhi Declaration on Saturday. Modi said that the bloc had come of age and it was time to translate its unity and consensus into concrete results on the global stage, as he opened the meeting.

The declaration has expressed concern over the growing risks of nuclear danger and conflict and also condemns imposition of ‘unilateral’ coercive measures that are contrary to international law.

It is a breakthrough as there were differences between Iran and the UAE on Tehran's war with the US. So the declaration can be viewed as a big win for the Indian Sherpas.

The BRICS Sherpas had been in talks for days in the lead-up to the Summit to thrash out a consensus for a joint leaders' declaration, as differences remained over the language on the situation in West Asia.

Both Iran and the UAE are India's close allies.

PM Modi had bilateral talks with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian on Friday. Meeting for the second time in under two weeks, Modi and Pezeshkian discussed India-Iran relations, with the broader situation in West Asia taking centre stage. He described Pezeshkian's trip to India as "more special because it is his first visit" to the country.

On Saturday, PM Modi met the Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi, Khaled bin Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan.
