BRICS Condemns Pahalgam Attack, Supports India's UNSC Bid
What Happened
At the BRICS Summit in New Delhi, member nations unanimously adopted the New Delhi Declaration, strongly condemning the April 2025 Pahalgam terror attack that killed 26 people. The declaration called for "zero tolerance" toward terrorism, rejected double standards, and urged action against terror financing, cross-border movement of terrorists, and safe havens.
Key Takeaways
The declaration marks a significant diplomatic win for India. Along with a strong anti-terror message backed by all BRICS members, including China and Russia, the grouping also reiterated support for India's aspirations for a permanent seat on a reformed UN Security Council, strengthening New Delhi's push for a greater role in global governance.
