The bloc's leaders labelled the attack "criminal and unjustifiable" and denounced cross-border terrorism, financing, and safe havens.

During the 17th BRICS Summit in Brazil, Prime Minister Narendra Modi expressed concern over the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, stating that peace is the only viable option for the good of humanity. Modi reiterated India's commitment to the values of peace and brotherhood, emphasizing that global peace and security are the foundations of shared interests and the common future. The BRICS leaders also called for the finalization of the Comprehensive Convention on International Terrorism under the UN framework and concerted actions against UN-designated terrorists and entities.

The BRICS nations' commitment to combating terrorism is a significant development, as the bloc represents a significant portion of the world's population and economic power. The joint declaration also emphasized the primary responsibility of nation-states to combat terrorism and urged international cooperation that respects the UN Charter, human rights law, and humanitarian law. Modi also highlighted the important role of the BRICS group in achieving global peace and emphasized the need for collective action to address shared challenges.

The BRICS nations' stance on terrorism and their commitment to global peace and security are crucial in today's world, where terrorism and conflict continue to pose significant threats to humanity. As the world's largest emerging economies, the BRICS nations have a critical role to play in promoting peace, stability, and prosperity globally.
