New Delhi, India – The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) has released comprehensive arrangements for public and media access to the upcoming 18th BRICS Summit, scheduled to take place at Bharat Mandapam in New Delhi on September 12-13, 2026.
India holds the prestigious BRICS Chairship for 2026, positioning New Delhi as the host city for leaders and delegations from the expanded BRICS grouping. The MEA's announcement, made on September 11, 2026, aims to ensure broad transparency and public engagement with the high-profile international gathering.
Livestreaming the BRICS Summit 2026
For those wishing to follow the proceedings remotely, the MEA confirmed that a live broadcast of the summit will be accessible via the official BRICS 2026 YouTube channel (@BRICS2026India). The ministry's official communication also includes a QR code for direct access to the livestream.
Additionally, selected key events and sessions from the summit will be simultaneously livestreamed on the MEA's official YouTube channel (@MEAIndia). This dual approach ensures that viewers can tune in to important discussions and ceremonies as they unfold.
Accessing Official Summit Photographs
Beyond live video, the MEA has made provisions for the public and media to access official photographs from the BRICS Summit. These high-quality visuals will be uploaded to the ministry's official Flickr account. Links and QR codes provided in the advisory will facilitate easy navigation to these photo albums.
This initiative is expected to offer media organizations, academic researchers, and the general public direct access to a comprehensive visual record of the summit, capturing moments of diplomacy and international cooperation.
“The move is expected to provide media organisations, researchers and the public with direct access to official images from the summit.”
As India prepares to welcome world leaders, these arrangements underscore a commitment to open communication and widespread dissemination of information regarding the significant international event.
