Putin to hold bilateral talks with Modi, Anwar, Ramaphosa at BRICS summit in Delhi

Russian President Putin will meet bilaterally with Indian PM Modi, Malaysian PM Anwar Ibrahim, and South African President Ramaphosa on the sidelines of the BRICS summit in Delhi, with a likely meeting with Egypt's el-Sisi. This signals continued Russian diplomatic engagement with key non-Western partners amid ongoing isolation from the West. The meetings are routine summit diplomacy, but underscore Russia's efforts to strengthen ties with the Global South.
