The meeting, which will take place in a virtual format and will focus on the common theme of "An Empowered Global South for a Sustainable Future", reported by Prensa Latina, a partner TV BRICS, citing a statement from India's Ministry of External Affairs.

At the summit, countries of the Global South will also continue to discuss their priorities and solutions, especially in the area of development.
Like the previous two summits, the summit will consist of a leaders' session and ministerial sessions and will open at the level of Heads of State and Government under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
There will also be sessions of Foreign Ministers on "Charting a Unique Paradigm for Global South", Health Ministers on "One World-One Health", Youth Ministers on "Youth Engagement for a Better Future", and others.
