The decision to found the IBSA dialogue forum was taken by Foreign Ministers Celso Amorim (Brazil), Yashwant Sinha (India) and Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma (South Africa) on June 6, 2003 in Brasília . In a “Declaration of Brasilia” they committed themselves - in contrast to the People's Republic of China - to democracy, peace and human rights. Since then, the foreign, defense and trade ministers have met regularly for consultations. In 2006, 2007, 2008, 2010 and 2011 there were summits of heads of state and government. The sixth summit has been postponed several times since 2013. It was originally supposed to take place in India and was held in Durban , South Africa, in 2017 .

The three southern powers are united by the endeavor to improve their position as representatives of their respective regions of the world in international bodies such as the United Nations Security Council . Furthermore, they coordinate their approach in the World Trade Organization with the aim of securing free access to the world markets for the export industry on the one hand and protecting domestic branches of industry from ruinous competition from abroad on the other.
