BRICS Summit 2026: Delhi on High Alert as PM Modi, Xi Jinping Meet!

New Delhi is abuzz as the 18th BRICS Summit officially entered its second day at the state-of-the-art Bharat Mandapam.

Key leaders, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi, have arrived for a day packed with high-level discussions and diplomatic engagements.

India is proudly hosting this prestigious event from September 11 to 13, 2026, under its current BRICS chairship, welcoming international heads of state, dignitaries, and global delegates to the capital.

A major highlight today is the anticipated bilateral meeting between PM Modi and Chinese President Xi Jinping, who is also en route to Delhi. These crucial talks are expected to cover a range of significant topics, including reviewing boundary stabilization measures, exploring avenues for expanding trade and investment, and working towards restoring broader economic engagement between the two nations.

The world will be watching these discussions closely.

To ensure seamless movement for VIP convoys and the safety of all delegates, the Delhi Traffic Police has issued a comprehensive advisory for September 12. Commuters are advised to be aware of significant traffic restrictions, diversions, and controlled movements on several key roads across New Delhi and its adjoining areas. It's recommended to plan your travel accordingly to avoid inconvenience.

Adding another layer to today's events, the weather forecast for Delhi-NCR indicates generally cloudy skies.

There's a prediction of one or two spells of very light to light rain, accompanied by thunderstorms and lightning in many areas. Delegates and citizens alike should be prepared for changing weather conditions as the summit progresses.
