Recently (August 2023) which of the following city hosted the 'BRICS' summit?

Question

Accepted Answer

The correct answer is Option 2: Johannesburg.

Here's why:

*   **Johannesburg (Option 2):** The 15th BRICS summit was indeed held in Johannesburg, South Africa, from August 22-24, 2023. This is a verifiable fact and the primary reason why this option is correct. South Africa held the BRICS presidency in 2023, and Johannesburg was the designated host city.

Here's why the other options are incorrect:

*   **Shanghai (Option 1):** While Shanghai is a major city in China and China is a member of BRICS, Shanghai did not host the BRICS summit in August 2023.
*   **New Delhi (Option 3):** New Delhi is the capital of India, another BRICS member. However, India did not host the BRICS summit in August 2023.
*   **Sao Paulo (Option 4):** Sao Paulo is a major city in Brazil, a BRICS member. However, Brazil did not host the BRICS summit in August 2023.
