	At the opening session, Prime Minister Modi said BRICS had "come of age" and presented a ten-point proposal for a BRICS Reform Roadmap on global governance, to be finalised by the next summit, focusing on representation, responsiveness and rule-making. He repeated India's demand that reform of the UN Security Council "cannot be postponed any longer" and asked for negotiations with a definite time frame. He also proposed a BRICS continuity and implementation mechanism under the Troika arrangement, a secure digital repository to track every decision, and a Seafarers' Emergency Support Network for mariners facing risks from regional conflicts. Clarifying the grouping's character, Modi said, “We are not against anyone; rather, we strive to move forward with the approach of taking everyone along.”		At the opening session, Prime Minister [[Narendra Modi\|Modi]] said BRICS had "come of age" and presented a ten-point proposal for a BRICS Reform Roadmap on global governance, to be finalised by the next summit, focusing on representation, responsiveness and rule-making.

	President [[Xi Jinping]] said BRICS countries should "firmly stand on the right side of history" by steering the international order towards greater fairness, and announced that China would take the BRICS chairship in 2027 and host the 19th summit. At the second session on 13 September, Xi put forward five initiatives for cooperation — on artificial intelligence (including an open-source and inclusive AI effort), trade and investment facilitation with a BRICS special economic zone partnership, a BRICS digital ecosystem cloud platform, intelligent manufacturing, and science and technology talent development, including a BRICS engineer cultivation alliance and a youth exchange programme. He also called for the full and effective implementation of the Paris Agreement on climate change.
