The BRICS countries overcame divisions on the Middle East before the summit held in New Delhi. The economic bloc, composed of Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa, managed to reach an agreement on the position to take regarding the conflict in the region.
The impasse centered on the dispute between Iran and the United Arab Emirates over the Gulf conflict. The divergences among the group's members made negotiations particularly difficult, threatening to undermine a unified position from the bloc.
The solution found was the approval of a text that does not directly name any of the countries involved in the current conflict. This approach made it possible to overcome the tensions among BRICS members and reach a consensus that satisfies both parties.
The summit in New Delhi thus represented a test of the bloc's cohesion, which ultimately demonstrated the capacity to overcome its internal divisions on sensitive geopolitical issues.
