India likely to raise Pahalgam terror attack at BRICS summit to be attended by PM Modi: Report
India is likely to bring up the Pahalgam terror attack at the upcoming BRICS Summit in Rio de Janeiro, which Prime Minister Narendra Modi will attend, according to a report, citing sources in the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) read more Indian security officers inspect the site in Pahalgam where militants indiscriminately opened fired at tourists, on April 23, 2025. AP File India is likely to bring up the Pahalgam terror attack at the upcoming BRICS Summit in Rio de Janeiro, which Prime Minister Narendra Modi will attend, according to a News 18 report, citing sources in the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA). New Delhi will push for strong condemnation of the Pakistan-backed attack, hoping for a unified stance from BRICS nations — unlike the recent Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) meeting, where members failed to adopt a joint statement addressing the incident, added the report. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD At last week's SCO defence ministers' meet in Qingdao, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh declined to sign the final communique, objecting to the omission of any reference to the Pahalgam attack and the broader issue of cross-border terrorism. As many as 26 people were killed after Pakistan-backed terrorists opened fire on tourists in the scenic resort town of Pahalam in Jammu and Kashmir on April 22. PM Modi to attend BRICS PM Modi will attend the 17th BRICS Summit in Rio de Janeiro on July 6–7, 2025, during an official visit to Brazil from July 5–8 at the invitation of President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva. This marks PM Modi's fourth visit to Brazil. At the Rio Summit, the Prime Minister will join other BRICS leaders in discussions on key global challenges, including UN reform, international peace and security, multilateralism, climate change, responsible AI use, global health, and economic governance. PM Modi is also likely to hold several bilateral meetings on the sidelines of the summit. As part of his visit, he will travel to Brasilia for talks with President Lula aimed at deepening the India-Brazil Strategic Partnership across key sectors such as trade, defence, energy, space, technology, agriculture, health, and people-to-people ties. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD BRICS brings together 11 major emerging economies of the world, representing around 49.5 per cent of the global population, around 40 per cent of the global GDP and around 26 per cent of the global trade. BRICS, originally comprising Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa, expanded in 2024 to include Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, and the United Arab Emirates, with Indonesia joining in 2025. The summit of the grouping is likely to deliberate on a range of issues including mainstreaming the interests and aspirations of the Global South, the people cited above said. The motto of Brazilian chairship is 'Strengthening Global South Cooperation for More Inclusive and Sustainable Governance". The summit will culminate in two high-level declarations on financing the climate change regime and the governance of artificial intelligence. With inputs from agencies
