NEW DELHI – The BRICS Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors’ Meeting, scheduled to be held in the Pink City from March 5 to 7, 2026, has been postponed in view of rising unrest and tensions in the Middle East region.
The BRICS India Finance Track Team informed that the crucial meeting has been deferred due to disruptions in normal international travel schedules.
