Iran's Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi is scheduled to visit India for the BRICS Foreign Ministers' Meeting on May 14-15, 2026. This visit marks a significant step in enhancing bilateral relations, particularly in light of ongoing tensions between the US and Iran. Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Esmaiel Baghaei highlighted the importance of this summit, noting that both Iran and India are members of BRICS and the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO). The discussions will focus on fostering cooperation among BRICS members and addressing geopolitical concerns, especially in the context of recent US and Israeli actions in the region. Araghchi's ongoing dialogue with India's External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar has been pivotal, with at least four high-level discussions since February 18, 2023, aimed at navigating the complexities of West Asia. The upcoming summit in New Delhi is seen as a platform to build on the rapport established during Araghchi's previous visit in May 2025, which included participation in the 20th India-Iran Joint Commission Meeting and discussions with Indian President Droupadi Murmu.
