Global Press At BRICS! Delhi Media Centre Gets Big Praise For Arrangements, Says... | Watch

Inside the sprawling International Media Centre at Bharat Mandapam in New Delhi, journalists are busy filing stories as the BRICS 2026 summit gets underway. This is where some of the key developments from the summit are being reported and sent out to audiences around the world. For foreign journalists, the summit is a major opportunity to report from the ground. While some raced to file their reports, others brought the buzz of a busy newsroom to the media centre. Many praised the arrangements, describing them as comfortable and well-equipped. For some visiting India for the first time, the experience extended beyond the summit, with journalists taking time to step out and explore. It is my first time in India, first time in New Delhi, I'm very happy to come. So I'm very, I want to express my gratitude to the organising committee of the event. So everything is organised in top level. So they did a great job. And it's very friendly, cosy, warm in all senses. I didn't expect if this media centre location would be this big, would be this much stuff. And it's very neat. I really like this place. And it's very comfortable for us as journalists to do any reporting, for doing stuff like copywriting, anything. It's comfortable, basically, for us as journalists. In the second day, we were visiting Taj Mahal in Agra. And yesterday we just visited BRICS bazaar, next to Barat Mandapam. And we love everything we found over there. Among them are journalists with decades of experience covering international events, who say the BRICS organising committee has done a remarkable job. For them, the summit is an important platform to amplify the voice of the global south, and strengthen cooperation among participating countries. I think the Indian government have really succeeded very much in arranging this BRICS summit. Actually, I have covered a lot of international summits. I've been working as journalist for more than 35 years. And also, I have covered a lot of international summits. And this is, I think, one of the best arranged summit I have seen. Actually, I think BRICS summit is very important, not just for India, but also for Egypt, my country, and also for other countries, who represent the voice of the south country. The world is changing now. And we need the voice of the south countries to be heard in this. It could be done by cooperation between the BRICS countries. And I think it's a very important message to the whole of the world. Media representatives also said they hope the summit will bring political, economic, and cultural gains for their respective countries. This is the first time Indonesia joined as a member of BRICS. Because only last year we have joined as a member of BRICS. So I just hope through the BRICS, India and Indonesia will be stronger to build our bilateral relationship and diplomacy, of course. Because in any sector, even it's in political, in economical, or in cultural, if Indonesia will become growth, because this is the first time now Indonesia joined as a BRICS member, everything will be growth and get support from another country in BRICS. More and more journalists from around the world prefer to cover, to pay attention to this event, to bring the voice of BRICS, the voice of global south in general, to the international media stance. The relationship between our countries is growing from year to year. And recently we face and we witness the level of relationship between our countries, the highest level. So from economic cooperation to cultural cooperation, and I hope it will grow in the future also. Around 1,200 to 1,300 journalists from BRICS countries including Russia, China, Indonesia, Egypt and South Africa have arrived in New Delhi to cover the 18th BRICS Summit along with media representatives from partner and invited countries. Held from September 12th to 13th, this is the fourth time India is hosting the BRICS Summit.
