Brics India logo launched: Jaishankar bets on meeting ‘shared challenges’ as New Delhi assumes chair

External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on Tuesday launched the official logo for Brics India 2026 as the presidency falls on New Delhi this year. Along with the logo, India has launched an official website that will serve as a common platform for all the member countries.

Brazil passed over the presidency to India in 2025. Speaking at the launch event, Jaishankar said that the colours in the logo represent the colours of all member countries, while the symbol highlights the unity and equal representation among the group.

“The logo that we unveiled today reflects this approach. It combines elements of tradition and modernity, and the petals incorporate the colours of all BRICS member countries, representing unity and diversity and a strong sense of shared purpose. The logo conveys the idea that BRICS draws strength from the collective contributions of its members while respecting their distinct identities,” the foreign minister said.

Jaishankar characterised BRICS as a vital platform for cooperation, dialogue, and active engagement. He emphasised that consistent communication between member nations is essential for building mutual understanding and aligning strategies on critical global issues.

He further noted that collaboration within the BRICS framework is a key tool for tackling the common difficulties confronting emerging and developing economies. By working in unison, Jaishankar believes these countries can develop collective strategies to navigate the complexities of an increasingly unpredictable international landscape.
