Beijing has confirmed Wang’s participation, and he is also expected to hold bilateral discussions with Doval on the sidelines of the event.Officials familiar with the preparations said Iran’s Supreme National Security Council Deputy Secretary Nezamipour is also likely to attend the gathering.The discussions are expected to focus on several major global flashpoints, including the conflict in Middle East and the prolonged Russia-Ukraine war. Regional security developments in South Asia, including tensions between Pakistan and Afghanistan, are also likely to come up during the deliberations.India is expected to highlight concerns relating to terrorism, particularly cross-border terror activities targeting Jammu and Kashmir from groups operating out of Pakistan.According to the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), “During the meeting, the National Security Advisers/Heads of Delegation of BRICS member countries will exchange views on the theme ‘Non-traditional security challenges confronting the world today,” as quoted by PTI.The ministry said participants will examine evolving security risks, including challenges arising from emerging technologies and their impact on national security frameworks.The officials are also expected to assess the progress made by BRICS working groups dealing with counter-terrorism cooperation and security issues linked to information and communication technologies.India is hosting the meeting as the current chair of BRICS, a grouping that has expanded significantly in recent years.
