Mohammad-Bagher Ghalibaf, Speaker of Iran’s Parliament (Majles), will not attend the 12th BRICS Parliamentary Forum in New Delhi scheduled for October 26 and 27, according to an announcement by the Iranian Embassy on October 24, 2026. The two-day conference aims to discuss fostering Parliaments for People-Centric Development, as stated by Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla at a press conference on October 22. Despite Ghalibaf's absence, an Iranian parliamentary delegation will still participate in the event. Prime Minister Narendra Modi is expected to attend, though no separate invitations were extended to opposition leaders from either house of Parliament. Iran remains committed to active participation in BRICS summits and meetings at the highest levels.
