The supportive coverage presents BRICS as a useful platform for Global South cooperation and broader influence. One report says South Africa should leverage membership to deepen economic cooperation, expand trade, and amplify the Global South’s voice. Another says the summit strengthened common ground on multilateralism and governance reform, while Indonesia’s participation was tied to food and energy security, resilience, innovation, and sustainability.
The mixed coverage says India’s presidency highlighted development concerns and advanced the Global South agenda, but it also records a sharp dissenting view. Rajya Sabha MP Kapil Sibal said China benefited most from the summit and described BRICS as a motley collection of nations. The result is a report that combines approval of India’s agenda-setting with skepticism about the bloc’s balance and cohesion.
