The summit includes a joint ceremonial tree-planting event and a closed session on inclusive global governance and strengthening multilateralism.\n\nBRICS Summit Highlights and Themes\n\nThe BRICS group, which expanded to include South Africa after its inaugural summit in Yekaterinburg, Russia, in 2009, is focusing on enhancing supply chain security and fostering cooperation among member countries. The summit’s theme reflects a strategic approach to resilience and sustainability, with New Delhi emphasizing innovation and cooperation.\n\nLeaders are participating in a tree-planting ceremony symbolizing their commitment to sustainability. A closed session titled 'Inclusive Global Governance and Strengthening Multilateralism' is also part of the agenda, highlighting the group’s intent to address global governance challenges collectively.\n\nIndia-China Relations at the Summit\n\nChina has expressed its desire to approach its relationship with India from a 'strategic height and long-term perspective,' aiming to increase communication, expand cooperation, and properly handle differences.
