The Indian Express and Business Standard reported on January 13 that India officially announced the official logo and website of the 2026 BRICS Summit on January 13. India's External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar stated that in the context of complex challenges facing the world today, the BRICS mechanism has always been an important platform for promoting dialogue and cooperation, and advancing practical actions, while taking into account the national priorities of countries at different stages of development. He pointed out that on one hand, India is willing to work with BRICS member states to build a framework for cooperation, enhance collective preparedness and response capabilities, thereby strengthening resilience in agriculture, health, disaster prevention, energy, and supply chain areas. On the other hand, India is willing to strengthen cooperation in areas such as start-ups, small and medium enterprises, and emerging technologies, using emerging technologies to address socio-economic challenges. It is worth noting that on the same day, the US threatened to impose a 25% punitive tariff on countries engaging in trade with Iran, including India. Several countries facing US sanctions or punitive tariffs, including Russia, Iran, and Brazil, are also members of the BRICS group, and their leaders are expected to attend this summit in India.
