Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi will arrive in New Delhi on May 13, 2026, to participate in the BRICS Foreign Ministers meeting scheduled for May 14-15, 2026. During his visit, he is expected to meet with Prime Minister Narendra Modi alongside other BRICS ministers from Brazil, Russia, South Africa, Egypt, Ethiopia, and Indonesia. This diplomatic engagement occurs just before Modi's seven-day tour to the United Arab Emirates, Netherlands, Sweden, Italy, and Norway, starting on May 15. The meetings come amid heightened tensions in West Asia, particularly following Iran's missile attack on the Fujairah oil facility in the UAE, which has strained relations between the two nations. India's involvement is crucial as it faces economic repercussions from the ongoing conflicts, including a blockade in the Strait of Hormuz affecting Indian shipping. The BRICS meeting aims to solidify cooperation among emerging economies and set the agenda for the summit in September 2026. Modi's discussions will likely touch on global instability and the need for a rules-based international order, as emphasized by Norway's Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre.
