India is set to host the 18th BRICS Leaders’ Summit and BRICS Business Forum in New Delhi. The summit is expected to be attended by several prominent world leaders from about 30 BRICS member and partner nations. Heads of international organisations and business representatives from BRICS countries are also expected to be present at the meetings. The Indian Ministry of External Affairs has released the official list of participants for the BRICS Summit 2026, along with their expected time of arrival in New Delhi.
When is Putin arriving in New Delhi?
Russian President Vladimir Putin is expected to arrive in New Delhi on Friday (Sep 11). He will land at Air Force Station Palam at 1:15 am. His visit to India for the BRICS Summit is closely watched, given the uncertain geopolitics in the backdrop of the war in Ukraine. He is expected to hold talks with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The Russian leader’s trip marks the second visit to India within a year, underlining the partnership between New Delhi and Moscow.
When is Xi Jinping arriving in New Delhi?
Chinese President Xi Jinping is scheduled to arrive in New Delhi on September 12 at 12:25 pm at Air Force Station Palam. His participation would make the summit particularly significant for India-China ties, with a possible meeting between Xi and Prime Minister Narendra Modi expected to draw attention on the sidelines.
