President Sisi Set to Address Closed-Door BRICS Leaders Session in New Delhi

President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi is scheduled to take part in the closed-door session of the leaders of the BRICS countries in the Indian capital New Delhi on Saturday, September 12, 2026. The summit is being held under the theme “building resilience, innovation, cooperation and sustainability.”

During the session, which focuses on “inclusive global governance and strengthening multilateral action,” President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi will deliver Egypt’s official statement. Following this closed-door gathering, the President and other BRICS leaders will tour an exhibition commemorating the 20th anniversary of the founding of the BRICS grouping.

Additionally, President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi will attend a dinner banquet hosted this evening by the Indian prime minister in honor of the participating summit leaders. Egypt’s key priorities within the BRICS bloc involve launching joint projects in vital sectors, broadening economic and financial cooperation, and advocating for the reform of the global financial system.

Notable outcomes from previous summits following Egypt’s accession include the 2024 Kazan Summit, which adopted a political declaration alongside a document detailing guiding principles, criteria, and procedures for partner country accession. Furthermore, the 2025 Rio de Janeiro Summit yielded a declaration on the “global governance of AI,” a “framework on climate finance,” and the main concluding Rio de Janeiro declaration.
