Jaishankar attended the launch of the official logo and website for India’s upcoming chairship of the BRICS grouping. The event marked the beginning of India’s preparations to lead the bloc at a crucial moment in its evolution, as BRICS approaches two decades since its formation.

India BRICS Presidency 2026 and Global Cooperation
Speaking at the launch, Jaishankar said India will assume the BRICS chairship in 2026 at a defining phase in the grouping’s journey. He noted that BRICS will complete 20 years since its inception in 2006, during which it has steadily evolved into a major platform for cooperation among emerging markets and developing countries.
He highlighted that over the years, BRICS has broadened both its agenda and membership in response to changing global realities. Despite this expansion, the grouping has remained committed to people-centric development, sustained dialogue and practical cooperation that delivers tangible benefits.
Humanity-First Approach Under PM Modi’s Guidance
Jaishankar emphasised that India is approaching its BRICS chairship inspired by the vision and guidance of Narendra Modi, with a strong focus on inclusive growth and global responsibility.
He said India’s chairship theme — Building for Resilience, Innovation, Cooperation and Sustainability — reflects the belief that deeper cooperation among BRICS members can help address shared global challenges in a balanced and inclusive manner. According to him, this approach places people at the centre of development while encouraging innovation and long-term resilience.
