India is set to host a high-stakes BRICS Foreign Ministers’ meeting amid rising geopolitical tensions in West Asia and growing global uncertainty. Sergey Lavrov is expected to attend the summit in person, while Seyed Abbas Araghchi is also likely to participate. However, reports suggest Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi may skip the gathering, with Beijing instead sending its envoy to India. The BRICS meeting is expected to focus heavily on global security, multipolar diplomacy and the ongoing West Asia crisis.
