KUALA LUMPUR, May, 2026 — Malaysia is set to participate in the BRICS Foreign Ministers’ Meeting scheduled to take place in New Delhi, India, from May 14 to 15, as the country continues strengthening its international partnerships and strategic global engagement. Malaysia will attend the gathering in its role as a BRICS partner country, joining member states and other participating nations in discussions on global political, economic, and security issues.
Malaysia’s Foreign Minister, Mohamad Hasan, is expected to arrive in the Indian capital this week to represent the country at the high-level diplomatic meeting. The event will be chaired by Subrahmanyam Jaishankar under India’s BRICS presidency for 2026.
Meeting to Focus on Global and Regional Challenges
According to Indian officials, the two-day meeting will bring together foreign ministers and senior representatives to exchange views on major global and regional issues of mutual concern.
Among the key topics expected to be discussed are:
- Global geopolitical tensions
- Economic resilience and trade cooperation
- Regional security challenges
- Reform of global governance institutions
- Multilateral cooperation among emerging economies.
The discussions are taking place at a time of heightened global uncertainty, including ongoing tensions in the Middle East, trade disruptions, and rising competition between major powers.
“BRICS at 20” Theme to Shape Discussions
On the second day of the meeting, BRICS foreign ministers and partner countries are expected to participate in a special session themed:
“BRICS at 20: Building for Resilience, Innovation, Cooperation and Sustainability.”
The session will focus on strengthening cooperation among developing economies and discussing reforms to the global multilateral system, including international institutions and governance frameworks.
Officials say the discussions could help shape future economic and diplomatic cooperation between BRICS nations and partner countries.
Malaysia Expands Its Global Diplomatic Presence

- International diplomacy.
The BRICS bloc currently includes:
- Brazil
- Russia

India to Host Major BRICS Summit Later This Year
The foreign ministers’ meeting also serves as a lead-up to the larger 2026 BRICS Summit, which India is expected to host later this year under its rotating chairmanship. The summit is anticipated to bring together top leaders to discuss economic cooperation, geopolitical stability, and reforms to global institutions.
Observers say Malaysia’s continued engagement with BRICS could create new opportunities in trade, investment, and diplomatic partnerships amid an increasingly multipolar global landscape.
Malaysia’s participation in the BRICS Foreign Ministers’ Meeting in New Delhi signals the country’s growing diplomatic ambitions and commitment to stronger engagement with emerging global powers.
As international tensions and economic uncertainties continue reshaping global politics, the meeting may provide Malaysia with a valuable platform to strengthen partnerships and advance its international interests.
