NEW DELHI: External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on January 13 launched the website, theme, and logo for BRICS 2026, scheduled to take place under India’s chairship. Union Ministers of State for External Affairs Pabitra Margherita and Kirti Vardhan Singh were present on the occasion.
BRICS brings together eleven major emerging markets and developing countries of the world – Brazil, China, Egypt, Ethiopia, India, Indonesia, Iran, Russia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, and the United Arab Emirates. It serves as a useful platform for consultation and cooperation on contemporary issues having global and regional significance, as well as issues of global political and economic governance.
The BRICS logo for India’s chairship blends tradition with modernity. The petals radiate the vibrant colours of all BRICS member countries, highlighting their collective strength and unity. At the centre, the Namaste gesture showcases India’s spirit of warmth, respect, and harmonious collaboration.
“Complementing this visual identity are the three core pillars of BRICS—Political & Security cooperation, Economic & Financial partnership, and People-to-People exchanges—all subtly represented through the logo’s message of inclusivity, dialogue, and shared growth. Together, the design reflects the broader BRICS vision of cooperation, sustainable development, and global harmony,” an official statement said.
The website aims to provide a platform to receive updates regarding BRICS initiatives and events that will be held under India’s Presidency.
The theme of India’s BRICS chairship is ‘Building for Resilience, Innovation, Cooperation and Sustainability.’ “India’s BRICS Chairship is guided by the theme ‘Building for Resilience, Innovation, Cooperation and Sustainability’, reflecting a people-centric and humanity-first approach articulated by the Hon’ble Prime Minister at the 2025 Rio Summit,” the statement said.
