What the new BRICS alliance means for you #brics #worldpolitics

BRICS is no longer the small economic grouping it once was. Today, it has 11 full members and 10 partner countries, bringing together some of the world’s largest emerging economies. And at the 2026 BRICS Summit in New Delhi, something significant happened: all 11 members unanimously adopted a 45-page, 140-paragraph declaration. Think about that for a moment—India and China, Russia and Brazil, Iran and the UAE—countries with major differences on politics, security, and foreign policy—still managed to agree on one document. One of the strongest messages was on global trade. The declaration criticised unilateral tariffs and non-tariff measures that distort trade and said such measures can be inconsistent with WTO rules. It also pushed back against what BRICS describes as protectionism being introduced under environmental objectives. And this comes as trade tensions involving the United States and several BRICS economies have intensified. But BRICS isn't just talking about trade—it is also working on how members make cross-border payments. The bloc is exploring interoperability between different payment and messaging systems and greater use of local currencies for trade settlements. while also addressing conflicts and calling for dialogue and diplomacy. #BRICS #BRICS2026 #BRICSSummit #India #Modi #GlobalEconomy #Geopolitics #GlobalSouth #China #Russia #Economy #WorldPolitics #Shorts #YouTubeShorts
