Claim 1: “Russia was represented by Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov”
VERIFIED
While the provided evidence for this specific meeting is slightly fragmented, it is a matter of public record that Sergey Lavrov is the Russian Foreign Minister (Wikipedia) and TASS reports he represented his country at BRICS foreign ministers' meetings.

Claim 2: “Following the meeting, a chairperson's statement was published, held this year by India”
DISPUTED
There is a direct contradiction in the evidence regarding the nature of the output. One source states the meeting 'concluded with the adoption of a joint statement', while another explicitly states they 'could not agree on a joint statement' and instead India released a 'chair's statement' highlighting differing perspectives.

Claim 3: “Participants in the BRICS Foreign Ministers' Meeting held in the Indian capital reached mutual understanding on almost all items of the agenda”
DISPUTED
The claim states participants reached mutual understanding on 'almost all items'. However, evidence from web search results explicitly contradicts this, stating that the bloc 'faces divisions over Iran's war, rising oil prices, and competing regional interests' and that a 'deadlock precludes joint statement' due to clashes between Iran and the UAE.
