New Delhi: India unveiled the logo and the website for its BRICS Presidency 2026 on Tuesday, January 13. The logo and website were launched in the presence of External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar in New Delhi, setting the tone for the upcoming chairmanship of the multilateral meeting.
The logo is inspired by the lotus, India’s national flower. In which, at the centre, the inner petals show a sign of Namaste, a common gesture in India to greet and show respect towards others.
The logo features five petals, representing the five founding members of BRICS: Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa, which emphasises unity among diverse cultures.
The website will provide all the information on BRICS projects, events, official documents, initiatives and more on a single platform.
Jaishankar stated that the logo and the website theme underscored the need to strengthen capacities, promote innovation, and ensure sustainable development for all nations.
“The logo reflects unity and diversity among Brics members, while the Brics India website would serve as a common platform during India’s chairship, providing formation meetings, initiatives and outcomes, and enabling timely dissemination of information and greater engagement,” EAM S. Jaishankar stated.
BRICS will complete 20 years since its inception in 2026, and India will chair the multilateral grouping. With this, Jaishankar said, “an important moment in the grouping’s journey,” as the BRICS Presidency 2026 will bring together the potential of members for greater global welfare.
Apart from the founding member, Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, the UAE, and Indonesia are also full members of the forum. While, Belarus, Bolivia, Kazakhstan, Cuba, Malaysia, Nigeria, Thailand, Uganda, and Uzbekistan are the partner countries of the BRICS forum.
BRICS members will strengthen their economic, technological, and geopolitical domains at the meeting, and also, the members are poised to make a global footprint with the 20th anniversary of BRICS.
