The Tata Sons board has approved a fresh five-year term for chairman N. Chandrasekaran despite opposition from Tata Trusts chairman Noel Tata. The decision followed a dramatic boardroom vote in which Noel Tata's opposing vote was rejected while Venu Srinivasan's supporting vote was accepted, clearing the way for Chandrasekaran's third term amid ongoing regulatory challenges for Tata Sons. India stands firm on Russian oil amid US tariff threat India has reaffirmed that its energy sourcing decisions will be guided by national interest, not external pressure, as the US moves closer to imposing sanctions related to Russian and Iranian energy trade. New Delhi has cautioned that any action targeting India could have implications for bilateral ties and global energy markets. NSE IPO opens with valuation in focus The National Stock Exchange's much-awaited IPO opened for subscription on Thursday, with shares priced between ₹1,700 and ₹1,785. The issue was 42 per cent subscribed on day one, led by retail and high-net-worth investors. The offer is entirely an offer for sale, meaning the exchange will not receive proceeds from the issue. Govt allays fears over UPI payments after MDR levy The government has sought to reassure users and merchants that UPI transaction volumes will remain stable after the Merchant Discount Rate comes into effect from October 15.

//The Wire//2000Z September 17, 2026// //ROUTINE// //BLUF: SAUDIS CLAIM THAT THE EAST-WEST PIPELINE WILL BE REPAIRED SOON, DESPITE THE TOTAL DESTRUCTION OF SEVERAL PUMPING STATIONS. UNITED STATES WEIGHS MITIGATION ACTIONS TO PREVENT DIESEL CRISIS FROM EXPANDING. PRESIDENT XI AND PRESIDENT RAMAPHOSA REPORTEDLY FELL ILL DURING BRICS SUMMIT.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE-----  -International Events-India: Multiple world leaders have reportedly fallen ill after attending the BRICS summit in New Delhi. Chinese President Xi Jinping skipped the gala dinner and returned to China early, and South African President Cyril Ramaphosa also had to depart India early due to an unspecified illness. His Deputy President, Paul Mashatile, also fell ill at the same time, as has been confirmed by the South African government.Analyst Comment: Right now, it's not clear as to if the illnesses are the result of malign action, or just the natural reaction to being in India. Multiple leaders from separate countries falling ill at around the same time is a big clue, but Chinese sources are speculating that President Xi might have had a stroke. At the moment, there is nothing confirming this as Xi's personal life tends to be extremely private, and there has been no official confirmation regarding why he departed the BRICS summit early.Saudi Arabia: Repair work up and down the East-West Pipeline continues, along with repairs at Yanbu. Saudi forces have also requested air defenses from various European nations, as the United States has declined to become involved in defending their refineries.-HomeFront-Washington D.C. - Concerns continue to mount regarding the status of Senator Mitch McConnell. Yesterday, he was transported to the Capitol to vote on an agricultural spending bill, and footage of him continues to indicate that he is very visibly not well or coherent. Sen. McConnell has generally been conscious, but unresponsive to verbal comments made by journalists attempting to ask him questions.USA: Around the nation, reports of gasoline and diesel shortages are beginning to manifest, as several gas stations have announced that they are out of gas. Gas stations in North Texas, Florida, and California have all reported being out of gas as of last night.Analyst Comment: Right now it's hard to pinpoint exactly what is causing these specific shortages. To be sure, a handful of gas stations running out of gas is not indicative of a dire and imminent nationwide shortage; based on the EIA's Weekly Status Report, last week gasoline stocks in the US were only down 4.6% from what they were last year. However the empty pumps don't lie, and right now the most likely explanation for localized gasoline shortages is a combination of logistical issues delaying shipments to individual gas stations...and panic buying which will drain a gas station much faster than normal. Due to oil execs saying gas prices are going to increase over the next few days, people are probably trying to get ahead of the curve. Since most gas stations only have a day's worth of gas (and rely on nearly daily deliveries to refill their underground tanks), it doesn't take much of an increase in demand to generate a localized shortage.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: Saudi oil contracts continued to be canceled as the scale of Houthi attacks continues to expand. All oil onloading at Yanbu has been halted for at least six days, and the only other source for Saudi exports is now through smaller ports, or through Ras Tanura via the Strait of Hormuz. Despite the devastation, some Saudi officials claim that the East-West Pipeline will return to at least 50% of it's capacity within a few days, though this appears to be wishful thinking at best. At the moment, formalized force majeure declarations have not taken place, but Aramco has "deferred" deliveries of crude for the rest of the month of September, and various contracts continue to be canceled.As it stands, Saudi Arabia is seriously in trouble and it's extremely unlikely that Saudi Arabia will be exporting any sizable amount of oil for a while. European oil traders seem rather adamant that Saudi Arabia has already canceled most of their contracts with various customers for oil deliveries, however Saudi officials assure the world that everything is fine and they will be back to full capacity soon. Saudi sources have claimed that the SUMED pipeline (with it's capacity of 2.5 million barrels per day) can be used as a partial-backup to the East-West Pipeline being down. However there is one problem with this plan...geography. The SUMED pipeline is not in Saudi Arabia, it's in Egypt. And the only way that the Saudis can use this pipeline, is to load oil at Yanbu, sail it on ships across the Red Sea, and deposit the crude in Egypt to be sent down the pipeline. The single point of failure for this "backup" pipeline is the same point of failure for the East-West Pipeline...Yanbu. Which is currently offline due to Houthi strikes. Whatever the truth is regarding exactly how much oil is able to exit the Middle East, it will be discovered rather quickly as crude cannot be conjured up out of thin air, and at some point the sheer lack of volume will have to be acknowledged.Within the homeland, the United States has begun more serious mitigation efforts due to the Saudis being offline for presumably a long time. The Department of Transportation has issued a 90-day waiver for truckers carrying fuel, easing Hours-of-Service (HOS) regulations to allow truckers to drive more hours in a 24 hour period. The White House is also still considering an export ban on diesel, in order to ease rising costs in the United States. If this were to be enacted, domestic prices would probably dip, but the shock to the system could result in unintended consequences in the long term.Analyst: S2A1 Research: https://publish.obsidian.md/s2underground NomadNet: 5fa68c88be727a0e1a250a75e5e79269 Disclaimer: No LLMs were used in the writing of this report. //END REPORT//

Donald Trump need not be. BRICS is nowhere near creating an alternative to the US-led world order, says our expert. Synopsis: Every third Friday of the month, The Straits Times gets its US Bureau Chief to analyse the hottest political and trending talking points. In this episode, US Bureau Chief Bhagyashree Garekar chats with Sarang Shidore, the director of the Global South Program at the Quincy Institute in Washington DC. In a conversation taking stock of the grouping’s annual meeting in New Delhi on Sept 12-13, he calls BRICS an “interesting experiment” that is worth studying. Like ASEAN, it operates on consensus but has no charter. BRICS has been on a membership drive and now covers nearly all the regions outside of the wealthy western world. BRICS comprises 11 members - Brazil, China, Egypt, Ethiopia, India, Indonesia, Iran, Russia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa and United Arab Emirates. It also has 'partner countries' including the likes of Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam. US President Donald Trump has blasted the grouping, suspecting it of wanting to supplant the US dollar, the world’s leading currency. But de-dollarisation is not on the horizon, Shidore says. Instead, the body is asking for “modest, not revolutionary” reforms in the world order. Highlights (click/tap above): 1:40 Why should Asean care about BRICS? 6:50 What the New Delhi summit achieved 11:50 What does Trump see in BRICS? 19:30 ‘Competition within cooperation’: The China-India dance 27:10 US vs China: Destined to clash over AI in BRICS nations? 33:15 What are Beijing’s goals when it chairs BRICS in 2027? 37:45 Is BRICS ever going to create an alternative world order?

Co-hosts Jared Yates Sexton and Nick Hauselman open on Dario Amodei's call to slow down AI development and why we should be worried when both Sam Altman and Elon Musk agree with him. Donald Trump responded that the whole thing is a sick conspiracy because, of course he did. They work through who actually benefits when an industry starts begging to be regulated, why a bubble this size might need to become a national security emergency to survive, and what it means that the quickest way to get what you want is to frighten people out of thinking. Then the Middle East, where the Houthis took Mayun island and closed the Red Sea route that was supposed to be the answer to the Strait of Hormuz, while drones launched out of Iraq and tore up the East-West pipeline . From there, the BRICS nations met in New Delhi and called for a multipolar world while Donald Trump blames Volodymyr Zelensky for diesel prices: good times. They make the case that the alternative order arriving now isn't better, only newer, and that the United States has spent the past year assembling it on the other side's behalf.

Artificial intelligence is developing faster than many experts predicted, bringing extraordinary opportunities as well as growing concerns. Some of the industry's leading figures are even calling for the pace of development to slow while governments and technology companies grapple with how best to manage the risks. So can humanity remain in control of AI, and how should we govern a technology that is advancing so rapidly?

The BRICS summit in New Delhi strengthened common ground among major Global South countries on development, cooperation, multilateralism and global governance reform amid global volatility and recurring regional conflicts, officials and analysts said as President Xi Jinping concluded a two-day visit to India on Sunday.The summit, which brought Xi and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi together for their third consecutive year of bilateral talks, also gave fresh impetus to improving relations between the two neighbors, with broader implications for regional stability and Global South cooperation, they said.Speaking to reporters upon the conclusion of Xi's visit, Foreign Minister Wang Yi described the trip as a major diplomatic engagement with Global South countries in the opening year of China's 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-30) period.Coming after Xi's visits to Central Asia and the Middle East earlier this month, the trip was strategically significant for advancing high-quality cooperation within the expanded BRICS grouping and strengthening Global South solidarity, Wang said.In less than 24 hours in the Indian capital, Xi attended nearly 10 events, discussed development and cooperation with BRICS leaders, and held in-depth talks with Modi to chart the course of bilateral relations, Wang said.This year marks the 20th anniversary of BRICS cooperation.At the summit, Xi said solidarity and cooperation had always been the source of the grouping's strength.He called on BRICS countries to take a leading role in innovation-driven development, safeguarding peace and stability, promoting exchanges and mutual learning among civilizations, and reforming and improving global governance.At a new historical juncture, Xi had responded to the high expectations of Global South countries by reaffirming the historic mission of BRICS cooperation and charting its future course, Wang said, noting that Xi's urging elevated the strategic importance of BRICS cooperation and bolstered members' resolve and confidence to seek strength through solidarity.Speaking at a media briefing on Saturday, Sudhakar Dalela, secretary for economic relations at India's Ministry of External Affairs, said that there was a broad convergence among BRICS leaders on the need to strengthen multilateralism and to make global governance institutions more representative, inclusive, effective and responsive to today's realities.To bolster the strength of the Global South, Xi said during the summit that Global South countries should jointly defend the rule of law in international affairs, hold high the banner of multilateralism, remain committed to a people-centered development philosophy and jointly advance security governance.He proposed five initiatives for "greater BRICS" cooperation in artificial intelligence, trade and investment facilitation, digital industry, intelligent manufacturing and talent development.Lawrence Loh, director of the Centre for Governance and Sustainability at National University of Singapore's Business School, said "greater BRICS" distinguished itself through concrete plans to benefit people in countries beyond its membership."The BRICS summit has a broader implied message for the international community — global development cannot be based on a zero-sum game mentality where development is pursued at the expense of others," he said.Swaran Singh, a former professor of international relations at Jawaharlal Nehru University in Delhi, India, said that Xi had presented "greater BRICS" as a platform for a more multipolar, rules-based order, with a strong emphasis on practical cooperation.He said Xi's proposals overlapped significantly with India's own emphasis on technology, resilient supply chains and a stronger role for the Global South in shaping international affairs.With China set to assume BRICS' rotating presidency for the fourth time next year, Wang said the country would remain committed to, rooted in and supportive of the Global South, sharing opportunities and pursuing common development on the path toward modernization.The bilateral meeting between Xi and Modi, following their talks in the Russian city of Kazan in 2024 and Tianjin in northern China in 2025, also brought the direction of China-India relations into focus.Wang said the two leaders held candid, in-depth exchanges on strategic and long-term issues shaping bilateral relations, with their most important consensus being that China and India should be partners.Under the leaders' strategic guidance, ties have gradually emerged from a low point, with an expanding range of cooperation, record bilateral trade and more active people-to-people exchanges, Wang said.Improved relations serve the interests of the two countries' more than 2.8 billion people and are also important for strengthening Global South cooperation, he added.India's Ministry of External Affairs said in a statement on Saturday that the leaders welcomed the steady progress in relations since their Tianjin meeting and reaffirmed the need to take a strategic and long-term perspective on the bilateral ties."Differences should not become disputes," the statement said.Wang said that each country's development offers opportunities for the other, and that China-India cooperation has significance far beyond bilateral ties, with implications for the Global South and the world as a whole.He urged both sides to build on the hard-won improvement and implement the leaders' consensus to contribute to regional and global peace and prosperity.multilateralism /ˌmʌltiˈlætərəlɪzəm/n. 多边主义solidarity /ˌsɒlɪˈdærəti/n. 团结；同心协力multipolar /ˌmʌltiˈpəʊlə(r)/adj. 多极的bilateral /ˌbaɪˈlætərəl/adj. 双边的

President Xi Jinping unveiled five initiatives — covering the areas of artificial intelligence, trade and investment facilitation, digital industry, smart manufacturing, and talent development — to deepen practical cooperation among BRICS countries and bolster the collective strength of the Global South.Addressing the second session of the 18th BRICS Summit in New Delhi as he wrapped up his two-day participation in the gathering on Sunday, Xi stressed that a stronger foundation for cooperation was essential for the expanded grouping to achieve greater progress.He urged BRICS countries to leverage their close ties with emerging markets and Global South countries, pursuing open cooperation for mutual benefit while safeguarding stable and smooth industrial and supply chains.They should foster a larger integrated market, build incubators for innovation, upgrade traditional industries, develop emerging industries and deploy future industries, Xi added.China will be a pioneer in establishing a BRICS AI open source community, and it will support cooperation in developing and applying large language models, hold specialized AI seminars and training courses, and build an open AI ecosystem, Xi said.He proposed a BRICS special economic zone partnership under which countries could set up an intelligent portal, coordinate policies and build a new frontier for open development. China will also host the BRICS Forum on Trade in Services next year to cultivate new drivers of economic and trade cooperation.Furthermore, China will push for the establishment of a BRICS digital ecosystem cloud platform and conduct digital skills training, technological exchanges and industrial alignment to jointly advance the digital economy, Xi said.He expressed the country's readiness to assist fellow BRICS countries in building smart factories and developing standards and norms, jointly promoting manufacturing transformation and upgrading.Xi also proposed a BRICS engineer cultivation alliance for the joint development of engineers and mutual recognition of competency standards. China will launch a BRICS youth exchange program for scientific and technological innovation to cultivate more high-caliber talent.Noting that this year marks the launch of China's 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-30), Xi said China will continue to pursue high-quality development, expand high-standard opening-up, implement the Global Development Initiative and advance high-quality Belt and Road cooperation to share opportunities and prosper together with other countries.Liu Ying, a researcher at the Chongyang Institute for Financial Studies at Renmin University of China, said that as BRICS marks its 20th anniversary and moves toward its next "golden decade", China's five initiatives respond to the shared development needs of BRICS and the wider Global South.China has offered not just directions for cooperation, but also concrete platforms and mechanisms to implement it, she said, helping BRICS countries expand their international voice while strengthening their own development foundations.Openness and inclusiveness in AI especially matter, Liu said, as open-source cooperation, large-model development and talent training can help Global South countries access and apply AI as a foundational resource for national development — an effort that China's strengths in technology, industry and application can help make possible.China is practicing "developmental multilateralism" — combining capacity building with real development outcomes to help the Global South participate more fully in the new wave of technological and industrial change, and ultimately pushing the global system toward a fairer, more inclusive and balanced order, Liu added.As the Global South, with its collective rise, has become a key driver of world multipolarity, Xi said that to bring stability to the world and make it a better place, BRICS countries must seize the historical initiative, rally the Global South, be an active, stabilizing and positive force in international affairs, and advance the well-being of all humanity.He stressed that Global South countries should jointly defend the rule of law in international affairs, safeguarding sovereign equality, noninterference in internal affairs and the peaceful settlement of disputes, to ensure that international law and international rules are applied to all, free from double standards.Xi emphasized the need to uphold multilateralism and the authority and role of the United Nations, and to support multilateral institutions in advancing reform and increasing efficiency. World Trade Organization reform should proceed in the right direction, while the international financial architecture must be reformed and improved to increase developing countries' representation and voice, he added.Global South countries should remain committed to a people-centered development philosophy and strive to deliver on the UN's 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, he said.Addressing shared challenges, Xi said that Global South countries should work together to strengthen security governance, tackle traditional and nontraditional threats, and improve global climate governance.BRICS draws its growing influence from an inclusive approach that respects different development paths and promotes shared economic gains, said Lan Qingxin, director of the BRICS Research Center at the University of International Business and Economics in Beijing.

BRICS Summit: Weaponisation of tech, critical minerals could hinder shared progress, warns Modi Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday warned that the weaponisation of technology and critical minerals could become a hurdle to shared progress, and called on BRICS countries to ensure inclusive access to technology while pursuing growth that balances development with environmental sustainability. Modi said the grouping needed to strengthen resilience and ensure that the benefits of solutions developed within BRICS were also adaptable and accessible to countries of the Global South, addressing a session on “Resilience, Innovation, Cooperation and Sustainability: Shaping the Future for Inclusive Global Growth” at the BRICS Summit in New Delhi. “The weaponisation of technology and critical minerals can become a hurdle in our shared progress. Therefore, we have emphasised inclusivity in technology adoption,” Modi said. India steers BRICS to consensus on trade, coercive measures amid West Asia rift India pulled off a critical diplomatic balancing act at the BRICS Summit on Saturday, securing consensus among all 11 member nations on a joint declaration that voices serious concern over the rise of “unilateral tariff and non-tariff measures” running contrary to WTO rules, and resolves to strengthen the multilateral trade body. Negotiators worked through the night to bridge deep rifts between Iran and the UAE over the West Asia conflict to arrive at language acceptable to all, sources close to the development said. The resulting New Delhi Declaration condemns unilateral coercive measures as violations of international law, calls for protecting global trade, energy flows and supply chains, demands an end to the blockade against Cuba, and voices concern over escalating tensions in West Asia, while avoiding direct mention of specific countries.

While the bank did not disclose the names, market participants indicate that the shortlist may have emerged from a pool including Paresh Sukthankar, K Balasubramanian, Vishaka Mulye, Jimmy Tata and Vibha Padalkar. The board also approved the creation of an additional Whole-Time Director position to strengthen succession planning, appointed Jimmy Tata as Executive Director, and re-appointed V Srinivasa Rangan as Executive Director. Tata Sons faces pressure to list after RBI rejects its de-registration as a core investment company Tata Sons Private Ltd will have to prepare for a stock market listing after the Reserve Bank of India rejected its application for de-registration as a Core Investment Company. The decision means Tata Sons will continue to remain on the RBI's list of Upper Layer Non-Banking Financial Companies, a classification that requires listing on stock exchanges. The development follows the RBI's August 6 release of the NBFC-UL list, which included Tata Sons while noting that its de-registration application was under examination. The move comes amid leadership developments within the Tata Group, including Noel Tata's growing influence through Tata Trusts and N Chandrasekaran's decision to step down as Chairman of Tata Sons when his term ends in February 2027.

Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen talks with Eric Olander, co-Founder and Editor-in-Chief of The China Global South Project... one of the world’s most respected independent platforms tracking China’s engagement across Africa, Asia and the developing world. We begin with the India–China reset ahead of the BRICS Summit in New Delhi. As the world grapples with the Ukraine and Iran wars, U.S.–China rivalry, and President Trump’s second administration, India’s long‑standing strategy of “strategic autonomy” looks like the model everyone else is trying to copy. But applying that philosophy to BRICS leadership is far more complicated. Then to Washington, where Chinese President Xi Jinping’s state visit, complete with a summit and state dinner with President Trump, may reshape conversations around trade, AI, EVs, aerospace, and regional security. Eric breaks down what both sides want, and what neither can afford to lose. Finally, Nepal’s extraordinary disaster diplomacy. Kathmandu carefully manages foreign rescue teams to avoid becoming a stage for India–China competition.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

VOV1 - Diễn đàn Doanh nghiệp BRICS và các cuộc gặp song phương hôm qua (11/9) đã làm nóng bầu không khí trước phiên khai mạc Hội nghị thượng đỉnh BRICS lần thứ 18 tại New Delhi, Ấn Độ.Hôm qua, Thủ tướng Ấn Độ Narendra Modi đã có các cuộc gặp song phương với Tổng thống Nga Vladimir Putin, Tổng thư k‎ý Liên Hợp Quốc Antonio Guterres, Tổng thống Iran Masoud Pezeshkian tại thủ đô New Delhi.Sau cuộc gặp song phương với Tổng thống Nga Putin, Thủ tướng Ấn Độ thông báo đã có cuộc thảo luận rất hiệu quả về việc tăng cường tình hữu nghị Ấn Độ - Nga. Hai bên nhất trí thúc đẩy hơn nữa quan hệ thương mại và đẩy nhanh việc triển khai Chương trình Hợp tác Kinh tế 2030. Các nhà lãnh đạo Nga - Ấn Độ cũng thống nhất tăng cường hợp tác trong các lĩnh vực cơ sở hạ tầng, năng lượng, công nghệ, quốc phòng, văn hóa và các lĩnh vực khác.Trong cuộc gặp với Tổng thống Iran Masoud Pezeshkian, Thủ tướng Modi và nhà lãnh đạo Iran thảo luận về việc tăng cường quan hệ Ấn Độ - Iran cũng như hợp tác tại các diễn đàn đa phương, trong đó có BRICS. Thủ tướng Modi nhấn mạnh, đây là chuyến công tác đặc biệt khi lần đầu tiên Tổng thống Iran Pezeshkian tới New Delhi. Hai bên đã cam kết tiến hành hợp tác với một chiến lược dài hạn. Ngoài ra, những diễn biến căng thẳng tại Trung Đông cũng được đề cập.Ngoài cuộc gặp song phương với 2 lãnh đạo thành viên BRICS, Thủ tướng nước chủ nhà BRICS 2026 cũng đã có cuộc gặp song phương với Tổng thư ký Liên hợp quốc António Guterres. Tại cuộc gặp, hai nhà lãnh đạo đã trao đổi quan điểm về một thế giới đa cực phản ánh thực tế đương đại và nhấn mạnh sự cần thiết phải cải cách khẩn cấp Liên hợp quốc, đặc biệt là Hội đồng Bảo an.Bên cạnh các cuộc gặp song phương, Diễn đàn Doanh nghiệp BRICS cũng là tâm điểm thu hút báo chí quốc tế trước giờ khai mạc BRICS. Phát biểu tại diễn đàn, Thủ tướng Narendra Modi cho rằng trong bối cảnh các rào cản thương mại gia tăng, Ấn Độ đang thúc đẩy hợp tác, mở rộng các quan hệ thương mại và xây dựng những cơ hội kinh doanh mới trong BRICS.“Tôi muốn kêu gọi Hội đồng Doanh nghiệp BRICS - liệu các vị có thể chuẩn bị một báo cáo về việc loại bỏ 10 rào cản thương mại lớn nhất giữa các quốc gia BRICS không? Liệu chúng ta có thể hỗ trợ 100 công ty khởi nghiệp BRICS mỗi năm để họ có thể mở rộng sang các thị trường BRICS khác không? Liệu chúng ta có thể thiết lập hàng nghìn mối quan hệ đối tác mới giữa các doanh nghiệp của chúng ta không?”Thủ tướng Modi cũng khẳng định, thương mại toàn cầu chỉ có thể thịnh vượng khi các tuyến đường biển được đảm bảo an ninh, các tuyến đường cung ứng được thông suốt và các thủy thủ được an toàn. Cũng đề cập đến vấn đề này tại diễn đàn, Tổng thống Nga Vladimir Putin nhấn mạnh vai trò của các hành lang vận tải mới đối với an ninh năng lượng, lương thực và thương mại toàn cầu.“Thật không may, các đối thủ phương Tây đang cố gắng giành lại vị trí lãnh đạo trước đây bằng mọi cách. Người ta đang cố gắng phong tỏa các hành lang vận tải quốc tế và bắt giữ các tàu biển; hơn nữa, các biện pháp trừng phạt bất hợp pháp đang được áp đặt, kèm theo các mối đe dọa về cái gọi là các biện pháp trừng phạt thứ cấp đối với những người từ chối hành động vì lợi ích của người khác và thay vào đó bảo vệ lợi ích quốc gia của mình”.Tổng thống Nam Phi Cyril Ramaphosa cũng nhấn mạnh tầm quan trọng của BRICS khi nhóm là một tập hợp rất lớn các quốc gia trên thế giới, đại diện 50% dân số thế giới, chiếm 40% GDP toàn cầu. Giới chức các nước và học giả đánh giá, với quy mô như vậy, ưu tiên hiện nay của BRICS đang hướng tới hợp tác kinh tế thực chất hơn, dù các thành viên vẫn có những ưu tiên và cách tiếp cận khác nhau./. Đình Nam, Lê Dũng /VOV New DelhiDiễn đàn Doanh nghiệp BRICS 2026.

VOV1 - Trong khuôn khổ chuyến công tác tham dự Hội nghị Thượng đỉnh BRICS lần thứ 18 và làm việc song phương tại Ấn Độ, trưa nay (12/9 – theo giờ địa phương), Thủ tướng Chính phủ Lê Minh Hưng cùng Đoàn đại biểu cấp cao Việt Nam đã đến dâng hoa tại Tượng Chủ tịch Hồ Chí Minh ở Thủ đô New Delhi, Ấn Độ

The BRICS Business Forum in New Delhi has discussed topics such as strengthening supply chain resilience, trade in services, and the digital economy. India's external affairs minister noted that supply chain connectivity and trade facilitation have become crucial, highlighting digital public infrastructure, artificial intelligence, fintech and advanced manufacturing as major opportunities.

President Xi Jinping will attend the 18th BRICS Summit in New Delhi from Saturday to Sunday at the invitation of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, a Foreign Ministry spokesperson announced on Thursday.The meeting is widely expected to inject fresh momentum into BRICS cooperation, help BRICS countries and the wider Global South expand the pie of win-win cooperation, and reaffirm their commitment to multilateralism, experts said.India has adopted "Building for Resilience, Innovation, Cooperation and Sustainability" as the theme of its 2026 BRICS presidency, with a stated emphasis on a people-centric approach and stronger cooperation among countries of the Global South.Initially comprising Brazil, Russia, India and China, the grouping later welcomed South Africa and has since expanded further to 11 members. According to figures published on India's official BRICS presidency website, the 11 members account for about 49.5 percent of the world's population, 40 percent of global GDP and 26 percent of global trade."Xi's attendance once again demonstrates the importance that China consistently attaches to BRICS cooperation, the development of the mechanism and the common development of Global South countries," said Su Xiao hui, an associate research fellow at the China Institute of International Studies.China's role in advancing BRICS cooperation will again be highlighted at the summit, she said.Cooperation with other BRICS countries has long been a priority of China's foreign policy. Xi's first appearance at a major international multilateral meeting after becoming Chinese president was at the fifth BRICS Summit, held in Durban, South Africa, in March 2013.Wang You ming, a researcher on developing countries at the China Institute of International Studies, said the upcoming summit holds particular significance, as it coincides with the 20th anniversary of the launch of BRICS cooperation."One of the biggest highlights will be Xi's trip to India after seven years," Wang said. "China and India are not only close neighbors, but also founding members and major participants in BRICS. The state of their relationship has a direct bearing on the development of the mechanism."China and India have expressed mutual support for each other in hosting BRICS events, with India holding the rotating presidency this year and China set to assume the presidency next year."Multilateral platforms can create opportunities for bilateral engagement, while improving bilateral relations can in turn facilitate coordination within multilateral mechanisms," Wang said.At a time when unilateral trade measures and disruptions to global industrial and supply chains are placing mounting pressure on developing economies, the summit is expected to amplify the voice of the Global South and strengthen coordination in upholding an open world economy and the multilateral trading system, he added.Wang said BRICS cooperation had gradually moved beyond broad policy declarations toward concrete programs involving small and medium-sized enterprises, cities, young people and people-to-people exchanges.According to Wang, emerging sectors such as the digital economy, green development and artificial intelligence are also likely to provide new areas of growth for BRICS cooperation.Emmanuel Frimpong Sarpong, who holds a PhD from the University of Nottingham Ningbo China and is the lead author of a study on China's role in BRICS, said China has played an instrumental role in the development of the BRICS mechanism.He described the New Development Bank as one of the grouping's most significant achievements. By the end of 2025, the bank had approved $42.9 billion in financing for 139 projects covering clean energy, transportation, water and sanitation, environmental protection, and social and digital infrastructure, according to the bank.

VOV1 - Hội nghị Thượng đỉnh BRICS 2026 sẽ diễn ra tại New Delhi, Ấn Độ, từ ngày 12 - 13/9, với chủ đề “Xây dựng các nền tảng tự cường, đổi mới sáng tạo, hợp tác và phát triển bền vững”.Đây là hội nghị thượng đỉnh đầu tiên của BRICS kể từ khi nhóm hoàn tất quá trình mở rộng, đồng thời diễn ra đúng vào năm đánh dấu 20 năm hình thành và hợp tác của nhóm. Quy mô lớn hơn mang lại cho BRICS thêm vị thế về kinh tế và chính trị, nhưng cũng khiến việc tìm kiếm tiếng nói chung trở nên phức tạp hơn, khi các thành viên có những lợi ích và ưu tiên chiến lược không hoàn toàn đồng nhất. Vì vậy, thách thức đặt ra không chỉ là mở rộng hợp tác, mà còn là làm thế nào để BRICS duy trì được sự gắn kết và tạo ra những kết quả hợp tác thực chất trong giai đoạn mới.

The Chinese Foreign Ministry has announced that Chinese President Xi Jinping will attend the 18th BRICS Summit in New Delhi on Saturday and Sunday. The trip is at the invitation of the Indian prime minister.

Dit weekend is India gastland van de BRICS-top, waar een opvallende gast aanwezig is: Xi Jinping. Voor het eerst sinds jaren reist de Chinese president met een delegatie van 400 man af naar New Delhi. India en China staan al langer op gespannen voet, maar kan dus een verandering in komen. Het past allemaal in het rijtje van de vele bezoekjes die China de afgelopen tijd maakt, in aanloop naar de grote ontmoeting met de Amerikaanse president Trump later deze maand. Wat zit er achter de Chinese reislust? We vragen het Haroon Sheikh, filosoof en hoogleraar aan de VU. (10:04) Van wie is Groenland? De afgelopen jaren domineerde Groenland, een eiland van slechts 56.000 inwoners, de media als toneel van een geopolitiek machtsspel. Maar over de mensen die er wonen en wat zíj zelf willen, horen we opvallend weinig. De Deens-Nederlandse filosofe Stine Jensen duikt in haar boek We moeten het over Groenland hebben in de geschiedenis, cultuur en identiteit van de Groenlanders en stelt de vraag: welke toekomst willen ze voor zichzelf? Presentatie: Sophie Derkzen

"Lift Me Up" Over the course of a series of critically-acclaimed and best-selling albums like I Bificus, Superbeautifulmonster and 2024's Champion, Bif Naked has established herself as one of the most dynamic and arresting artists you're likely to run into. The Canadian singer/songwriter's refusal to be categorized has been the secret to her being able to move through genres like EDM and Pop-Punk and with artistic ease. Her I Bifficus memoir is an essential read and it details a life that found her moving from New Delhi to Kentucky to Manitoba. Bif Naked has played with everyone from Green Day to Sarah McLachlan to The Cult, she's released a spoken word record, voiced video games, appeared in videos by Moist and A Simple Plan, and acted in everything from Buffy The Vampire Slayer to The L Word. To get an idea of how fearless, bold and groundbreaking she is, the documentary One Of A Kind will give you a generous glimpse of the power and grace of Bif Naked. The pleading ache of her new single "Lift Me Up" finds Bif Naked sounding better than ever. Yes, she's busy, but we fit in a little chat. "Pathways" Filled with glimmering synths, jangling acoustic guitars and swirling psychedelia, Meltt's new album Pathways is one of the year's great pleasures. The Vancouver outfit's fourth effort is a sonorous and ethereal blend of catchy hooks, dreamy melodies and percussive invention. Comprised of childhood chums singer/guitarist Chris Smith, drummer Jamie Turner, guitarist James Porter and bassist Ian Winkler, Meltt's sound brings to mind everyone from The Stone Roses to the Crystal Fighters. The band is on the road as we speak and that's where I caught them. So let's meet Meltt. www.bifnaked.com www.meltt.bandcamp.com (http://www.meltt.bandcamp.com) www.bombshellradio.com (http://www.bombshellradio.com) www.stereoembersmagazine.com (http://www.stereoembersmagazine.com) www.alexgreenbooks.com (http://www.alexgreenbooks.com) Stereo Embers: Threads + Bluesky + IG: @emberspodcast Email: editor@stereoembersmagazine.com

VOV1 - Trong bối cảnh Trung Đông tiếp tục đứng trước những biến động khó lường, mọi nỗ lực mở thêm một kênh đối thoại, dù ở cấp độ song phương hay đa phương, đều có ý nghĩa đặc biệt.Việc Tổng thống Iran Masoud Pezeshkian tới Ấn Độ và tham dự Hội nghị Thượng đỉnh BRICS vào cuối tuần này vì thế thu hút sự chú ý không chỉ bởi đây là chuyến thăm Ấn Độ đầu tiên của ông kể từ khi xung đột Mỹ - Israel - Iran bùng phát hồi tháng 2, mà còn bởi những toan tính ngoại giao phía sau chuyến đi.Trong thế giằng co giữa đối đầu và đối thoại, Tehran được cho là đang tìm cách tận dụng quan hệ đối tác với New Delhi và không gian đa phương của BRICS để mở rộng dư địa ngoại giao, thúc đẩy các nỗ lực hạ nhiệt căng thẳng, đồng thời tìm kiếm những động lực mới cho hợp tác kinh tế, thương mại. Trong Vấn đề quốc tế hôm nay, mời quý vị và các bạn cùng BTV Quỳnh Hoa phân tích sâu hơn những động cơ phía sau chuyến công du này, cũng như những tác động có thể tạo ra đối với quan hệ Iran - Ấn Độ và cục diện khu vực, qua cuộc trao đổi với phóng viên Bá Thi, thường trú Đài Tiếng nói Việt Nam tại Ai Cập, theo dõi khu vực Trung Đông, và phóng viên Đình Nam, thường trú Đài Tiếng nói Việt Nam tại Ấn Độ.Thủ tướng Ấn Độ Modi và Thủ tướng Iran Pezeshkian có cuộc gặp đầu tiên sau hai năm bên lề hội nghị thượng đỉnh SCO.

Sunil Gupta talks to Ben Luke about his influences—from writers to film-makers, and, of course, other artists—and the cultural experiences that have shaped his life and work. Across more than half a century Gupta has explored queer identity, migration and race through photography. Born in New Delhi in 1953, but based in Canada and the UK as well as India since he became an artist, he has reflected on his personal background and autobiography to explore a wealth of social and political themes, from queer desire and relationships, to the social and geographical environments in which LGBTQ life and love happens, to political violence and the oppression of queer people, and the HIV/Aids crisis and its legacy. He has said that he “couldn't separate the living from the art-making”. Working in series that often have novel conceptual structures and explore different modes of presentation and expression in the photographic space, Gupta is both an artist and activist, with a long-held conviction to represent his own experience and that of people and communities like him in cultural fields where they have largely been absent.

At World Water Week in Stockholm, financing took center stage ahead of the U.N. Water Conference in Abu Dhabi this December. The annual gathering saw around 2,000 participants discuss water governance, security, and the rising pressures of a global water bankruptcy. However, attracting private investment remains difficult, with water projects often seen as offering low returns and traditionally relying on public funding. This has prompted a renewed focus on the World Bank's "Water Forward" initiative, which aims to make the sector more attractive to investors. Meanwhile, the Asian Venture Philanthropy Network conference in New Delhi, India, brought together philanthropists, impact investors, and nonprofits to discuss how the region's own capital can be mobilized to tackle development challenges instead of relying on traditional foreign aid. While AVPN attendees looked to local philanthropy to finance areas such as mental health and cervical cancer research, the broader global health sector is facing severe funding pressures. One example is the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations, which faces a more than $100 million funding shortfall for efforts to combat the ongoing Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo. To explore how these financing challenges are playing out across the development sector, Rumbi Chakamba sits down with Tania Karas and Jenny Lei Ravelo for the latest episode of our weekly podcast series.
