As the presidency passes from Brazil to India, the central challenge facing BRICS in 2026 will not be the continuation of an already well-established common agenda, but rather the task of striking a workable balance among national positions on more divisive issues – areas in which the group is increasingly expected to articulate a collective stance.
The role of the BRICS’ rotating presidency is more consequential than it might initially appear. The presiding state is not merely responsible for convening and managing discussions across the bloc’s various tracks of cooperation; it also sets priorities and frames the political tone for the year. In this respect, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has already outlined, in broad terms, the guiding principles of India’s presidency: resilience, innovation, cooperation, and sustainability.
