NEW DELHI, Sept 12 (Reuters) – The BRICS group of countries has agreed ​on a joint declaration, ‌which is unlikely to name any country but will condemn unilateral war by any ‌country, ​four sources told ⁠Reuters on ⁠Saturday.

The bloc, which includes Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, Egypt, Ethiopia, Indonesia, ​Iran and the United Arab Emirates, is holding ⁠its annual ⁠summit in New Delhi ​this weekend.

Representatives of the member ​nations have been engaged ‌on bridging the divide between Iran and the United Arab Emirates, who ⁠are on opposite sides of the Gulf conflict, to produce a ⁠consensus ‌declaration.

The leaders of ⁠the countries are expected ​to ‌approve the declaration on ​Saturday, ⁠the sources said.
