Prime Minister Ibrahim's musical curation extended thoughtfully across all his diplomatic engagements during the summit. For his official BRICS address and departure videos, he selected themes of unity with Har Dil Jo Pyar Karega and Kandhon Se Milte Hain Kandha from Lakshya. In a meeting with the Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, he chose the classic Saathi Haath Badhana from Naya Daur, while his interaction with Russian President Vladimir Putin was underscored by Chale Chalo from Lagaan to emphasize moving forward together.
