External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar launched the BRICS India 2026 website, logo and theme as India took over the BRICS chairmanship, saying the new logo embodies the colours of all member nations and symbolises unity and equal representation. He stressed that India’s tenure will focus on four pillars – resilience, innovation, cooperation and sustainability – and underlined BRICS’ role in helping emerging economies tackle shared challenges, with India set to host the 18th BRICS Summit later this year.
