This week's BRICS foreign ministers' meeting, hosted by India, will predominantly focus on the crisis in West Asia and its implications for the global energy supply chain. Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has been confirmed, though his attendance is contingent upon developing regional events.

China will be represented by its ambassador to India, Xi Feihong, as the Foreign Minister, Wang Yi, is engaged with President Trump's state visit. The meeting will also include Russia's Sergey Lavrov and will culminate with discussions with India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

The meeting aims to forge a consensus on the ongoing US-Israel conflict with Iran, a task previously stalled due to dissent among member countries, notably the UAE and Iran. The BRICS foreign ministers are expected to converse on broader global issues and governance reforms.
