Iran's Araghchi Arrives in Delhi for BRICS Talks Amid Middle East Crisis
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has arrived in New Delhi for a three-day official visit, marking Tehran's first high-level diplomatic engagement since the escalation of conflict in the Middle East. The primary purpose of the visit is to attend a two-day meeting of BRICS foreign ministers, where Araghchi will also hold bilateral talks with Indian External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar. Key agenda items include the escalating crisis involving US-Israel hostilities against Iran and the critical issue of safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz, which handles approximately twenty percent of global oil supplies. The delegation arrived on a flight named 'Minab168,' symbolizing victims of a recent missile strike. During the visit, Araghchi and other BRICS ministers are scheduled to meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Iranian officials emphasized that their participation in BRICS aims to strengthen multilateralism and reduce dependence on unilateral mechanisms. However, reaching a consensus statement on the West Asia conflict remains challenging due to differing views among member states, particularly between Iran and the UAE, regarding recent regional tensions and energy infrastructure attacks.
