India‑Hosted BRICS Summit Stresses Counter‑Terrorism and Inclusive Growth

Points 40 and 41 of the declaration targeted terrorism at its roots, condemning any act of terror regardless of motive, location or perpetrator. The document specifically denounced the April 22, 2025 Pulwama attack that claimed 26 lives, and reaffirmed a firm stance against cross‑border terror movement, funding and safe havens. The BRICS Counter‑Terrorism Working Group (CTWG) and its five sub‑groups were welcomed, with a call to finalize a comprehensive international convention on terrorism and to share best practices among member states, especially to curb radicalisation among youth.
