- A hatched block means the outlet is affiliated with, or controlled by, a state.
Political lean describes where an outlet sits within the politics of its own country. It is never a position on a single global scale.
Political lean is comparable inside one country and not across them, which is why the bar groups by country first. Publicly funded broadcasters are not marked as state-linked.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi stated at the BRICS Summit that reform of the United Nations Security Council can no longer be delayed. He called for text based negotiations on the issue to be linked to clear outcomes and a definite timeline. Modi emphasized that the Global South must transition from being rule takers to rule shapers, suggesting that BRICS provide young diplomats from these countries with legal expertise, practical training, and negotiation skills.
Addressing the summit in the national capital, Modi described the current global governance system as a pyramid of privilege that concentrates power at the top. He advocated for transforming this system into a platform of partnership where every country has a voice. He also proposed the creation of a BRICS Continuity and Implementation Mechanism to ensure that institutional momentum continues despite the annual change in presidency.
Marking the 20th anniversary of BRICS, Modi compared the organization to a person reaching a stage of maturity and responsibility. He urged the group to establish a new and ambitious agenda for the next twenty years to translate unity into concrete global outcomes. The event coincided with the United Nations Day for South South Cooperation, which Modi noted as a significant timing for decisions concerning the Global South.
