In his address, Om Birla reiterated Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s strong and consistent stand on giving a firm and befitting response to terrorism. India’s leadership and clarity on global peace, technological cooperation, and democratic values received special recognition from participating delegations.

At the closing session, India was formally handed over the chairmanship of the 12th BRICS Parliamentary Forum, scheduled to be held in 2026. India will now lead efforts to deepen inter-parliamentary cooperation and address common global challenges through dialogue and coordination among BRICS nations.
