The review says the viral video showed External Affairs Minister Jaishankar with heads of delegations on 24 October 2024, not that Modi was absent from the summit. It reports that Modi attended the summit in Kazan on 22–23 October 2024 and that Jaishankar represented India at the BRICS Plus meet after Modi returned to India.[S1]
