India will host leaders including the presidents of Russia and Iran for a BRICS summit on Saturday. The wars in West Asia and Ukraine, along with economic challenges, are expected to dominate discussions among the 11-member group.
Russian President Vladimir Putin and Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian are expected to arrive in New Delhi as early as Friday. Both are due to hold talks with Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Chinese President Xi Jinping has also been invited, although Beijing has not yet confirmed whether he will attend. If he does, it would be his first visit to India since 2019 and would mark the biggest step yet in a cautious thaw between the rival neighbours, six years after a deadly military clash along their disputed Himalayan border.
The summit takes place as India has sought to manage an energy crisis caused by the Iran war in part by turning to Russia while the war in Ukraine continues.
