Greetings from ISID!

As you know, India is hosting the 18th BRICS Leaders' Summit on 12-13 September 2026 under the theme Building for Resilience, Innovation, Cooperation and Sustainability. The Summit is the culmination of a nearly year-long preparatory process involving different government departments, agencies, academic institutions, think tanks, and civil society organisations.

ISID has been engaged as a knowledge partner by the Government of India to contribute to the preparatory process for Priority III on “Resilient GVCs: Pathways to Stable and Inclusive Trade” under the Contact Group on Economy, Trade and Industry (CGETI) (through the Department of Commerce) and for the Small and Medium Enterprises (SME) Working Group (WG) under the Partnership on New Industrial Revolution (PartNIR) (through the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade, Ministry of Commerce and Industry).

ISID supported the preparation of the documents, discussion notes and reports feeding into the official process. ISID also prepared background documents to examine trends and patterns in GVCs and MSMEs across the BRICS member states as part of its analytical work on these themes. ISID issued these background papers under the ISID WP series as follows.
