About Meeting

The BRICS Youth Ministerial Meeting serves as a high-level platform for Ministers of Youth Affairs to provide strategic direction for youth empowerment across member nations. Grounded in India's 2026 BRICS Chairship vision, "Building for Resilience, Innovation, Cooperation and Sustainability," it treats young people as vital partners in shaping a resilient and inclusive future.
