Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi will attend a meeting of the Security Advisors of BRICS countries to be held in New Delhi on June 22-23, Beijing announced on Thursday (June 18, 2026). The BRICS Security Advisors Meeting is a high-level platform that brings together the Security Advisors (NSAs) of the 11 BRICS member-states to exchange views on key security challenges. Wang will attend the meeting upon invitation, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian told a media briefing in Beijing on Thursday (June 18, 2026).
Wang will exchange views with other BRICS member states on the current international security situation and major international and regional issues, Mr. Lin said. The Chinese Foreign Minister is also a member of the Political Bureau of the ruling Communist Party of China and Director of the Office of the Central Foreign Affairs Commission. The meeting will also discuss joint responses to traditional and non-traditional security challenges and make preparations for the BRICS Summit to be held in India in September, Mr. Lin said.
“Amid a transforming and volatile world with many security challenges on the rise, BRICS countries standing at the forefront of the global south are committed to safeguarding world peace, promoting common development, practising multilateralism and enabling more equitable global governance,” Mr. Lin said. China looks forward to enhancing communication and coordination with BRICS members to further enrich political and security cooperation and contribute to world peace and stability, he added. The meeting comes at a time of heightened geopolitical tensions in several regions.
Wang, who is also Beijing’s Special Representative on the India-China border issue, is expected to meet NSA Ajit Doval during his New Delhi visit to discuss bilateral issues, according to official sources. India holds the rotating presidency of the BRICS bloc this year. Its members include Brazil, China, Egypt, Ethiopia, India, Indonesia, Iran, Russia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa and the United Arab Emirates. The previous meeting of BRICS NSAs was hosted last year by Brazil in Brasilia.
