BRICS 2026 Day 1: PM Modi’s diplomacy takes centre stage. 

From The Japan Times calling the consensus on a joint statement an “apparent diplomatic coup” to Bloomberg highlighting Modi’s role in bridging deep divisions, global media is taking note.

NYT, WSJ, AP, Al Jazeera and others have highlighted India’s balancing act, Modi-Xi engagement and India’s growing influence in the Global South.

A strong first day for India’s BRICS presidency.
