BRICS nations strongly condemned the April 22 terrorist attack in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pahalgam, which resulted in 26 fatalities. The joint declaration, issued after the summit in Rio de Janeiro, labelled the attack as criminal and unjustifiable, advocating for united global action to eradicate terrorism in all forms. The bloc reaffirmed its commitment to zero tolerance, denouncing cross-border terrorism, financing, and safe havens, while rejecting double standards in counterterrorism efforts.
