India will host the BRICS Foreign Ministers' Meeting on May 14-15, 2024, in New Delhi, with participation from Iran, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), and other member nations. This meeting comes at a critical time as tensions escalate in West Asia due to US-Israeli military strikes on Iran, which have resulted in a significant energy crisis affecting global markets. As the current chair of BRICS, India is in a delicate position, trying to mediate differing viewpoints among member countries regarding the conflict. While nations like China and Russia have condemned the military actions, others, including the UAE, have expressed contrasting opinions. The recent BRICS sherpas' virtual meeting on March 12 highlighted the challenges in reaching a common stance on the crisis, reflecting the complexities of international diplomacy within the bloc. India's efforts to forge a consensus will be crucial as it navigates these sensitive geopolitical waters.
