Moroccan socialist party leader Idris Lachar has arrived in India to lead a delegation to the second edition of the Bharat Summit, being held in Hyderabad on November 13-14, 2026. The summit is organized by the Indian National Congress under the theme "Shaping a New World". Lachar is accompanied by a delegation of senior party officials, including Fatiha Sadas, Khawla Achkar, and Hind Qasiour.

The Bharat Summit brings together nearly 1,000 delegates from around 70 countries, including leaders of progressive parties and movements, experts, policymakers, and civil society actors. The summit features 12 international sessions that will discuss pressing global issues, including the changing world order, future of cooperation between the North and South, economic and social justice, climate change, and the impact of artificial intelligence on democratic institutions.

The summit also aims to promote exchange of experiences and development of policy proposals among progressive forces. The organizers plan to announce the establishment of an international research center called "Our World", which will provide a platform for progressive parties and forces to share knowledge and ideas. This center is expected to facilitate collaboration and coordination among progressive forces globally.

The Moroccan delegation's participation in the summit follows a previous visit by Lachar to Hyderabad in April 2025, where he attended the Global Progressive Alliance conference. On that occasion, Lachar called for unity among progressive forces to address common challenges related to social, economic, and environmental justice. This visit highlights the party's commitment to international cooperation and collaboration.

Other prominent parties participating in the summit include the Brazilian Workers' Party, the British Labour Party, and the German Social Democratic Party. These parties join a diverse range of delegates from around the world to share perspectives and ideas on shaping a new world order. The summit provides a unique opportunity for dialogue and cooperation among progressive forces.
