Guwahati: India will host the BRICS National Security Advisers’ Meeting on June 22-23, bringing together senior security officials from member countries for discussions on emerging threats and evolving global security concerns.
The meeting, to be chaired by National Security Adviser Ajit Doval, will serve as a platform for member nations to exchange perspectives on a range of contemporary security challenges that increasingly transcend national boundaries. Representatives from BRICS countries are expected to deliberate on issues related to technology-driven threats, cybersecurity, terrorism, and the changing nature of global security dynamics.
According to the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), the discussions will centre on the theme “Non-traditional security challenges confronting the world today.” The agenda reflects growing international concerns over vulnerabilities arising from rapid technological advancements, including artificial intelligence, digital networks, and critical information infrastructure.
The participating delegations are also expected to assess recent developments in counter-terrorism cooperation and review progress made by BRICS working groups dealing with terrorism and the security of information and communication technologies. The deliberations aim to strengthen collaboration among member countries in tackling transnational threats and enhancing collective resilience against emerging risks.
The meeting comes at a time when BRICS has expanded its focus beyond economic cooperation to include strategic, technological, and security-related issues. As chair of the grouping, India has been advocating stronger engagement on matters affecting global stability and governance.
A key development surrounding the meeting is the scheduled visit of Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi, who will attend in his capacity as China’s National Security Adviser. Wang’s trip marks his first visit to India since August 2025 and is expected to provide an opportunity for continued dialogue between the two countries on bilateral and regional issues.
Diplomatic observers view the visit as significant amid ongoing efforts by New Delhi and Beijing to maintain communication channels and address areas of mutual concern. Wang had not attended the BRICS Foreign Ministers’ Meeting hosted by India last month due to prior commitments in Beijing.
The BRICS National Security Advisers’ Meeting is expected to conclude with renewed emphasis on cooperation in addressing emerging security challenges, promoting technological safeguards, and strengthening mechanisms to counter threats that increasingly affect countries across regions.
