About Meeting
Youth cooperation within BRICS focuses on unleashing the potential of young people for inclusive and sustainable development through structured dialogue, capacity building, and policy engagement. Anchored by the BRICS Youth Summit and the BRICS Youth Council, the platform convenes government officials, young leaders, and innovators from member countries.
Under India’s 2026 BRICS Chairship theme, "Building for Resilience, Innovation, Cooperation and Sustainability," the initiative advances a shared Youth Cooperation Framework. Deliberations center on four main pillars: Education & Entrepreneurship, Inclusive Development, Sustainability, and People-to-People Cooperation.
