Prime Minister’s Closing Remarks during the 18th BRICS Summit Session:
“Resilience, Innovation, Cooperation and Sustainability: Shaping the Future for
Inclusive Global Growth” (September 13, 2026)
Friends,
As
we conclude the 18th BRICS Summit, I express my heartfelt gratitude to all of you
for your active participation and valuable contributions.
Your
insightful views and suggestions have added both breadth and depth to our cooperation.
Your presence is a testament to the growing relevance, openness, and inclusiveness
of BRICS. Our discussions over the past two days have further strengthened our conviction
that BRICS is not merely a group of countries, but an ecosystem of solutions.
We
hope that the New Delhi Declaration adopted at this Summit will provide clear direction
to our shared vision and future cooperation. We must link all our outcomes with
time-bound action and last-mile impact. We will work together to ensure that our
frameworks move beyond files and create a real-life impact.
Friends,
BRICS
is about to enter its third decade. The world now expects not just ideas and commitments
from us, but concrete results. I am confident that, through our collective efforts,
we will certainly live up to these expectations.
As
the next host of BRICS, I once again extend my very best wishes to China. I specially
commend and congratulate all of you and your teams for making the New Delhi Summit
a success. I wish you all a pleasant and safe journey.
Thank
you very much.
New
Delhi
