The 18th BRICS Leaders’ Summit kicks off September 12-13 at Bharat Mandapam, with PM Modi hosting leaders from 11 member nations including Russia, China, Iran, and Saudi Arabia.
Russia expressed optimism that BRICS can bridge the Iran-UAE diplomatic gap, while the Kremlin blasted Trump's threat of 100% tariffs on Russian oil buyers as "illegal" and weaponisation of the dollar.
