Five of the major developing nations in the world are represented by the BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa), accounting for 41% of the world’s population, 24% of its GDP, and 16% of its commerce.
The Ukraine crisis and the protracted military stalemate between India and China in eastern Ladakh served as a virtual backdrop for the BRICS presidents’ meeting. In its role as the grouping’s chair for this year, China hosted the meeting.
In his speech, Modi said that the BRICS had undergone a number of structural changes that had improved the organization’s efficiency.
Modi claimed that by taking such concrete actions, BRICS has become a special international group whose goals go beyond discourse. People-to-people exchanges have improved thanks to the BRICS Youth Summits, BRICS Sports, and increased exchanges among think tanks and civil society organisations.
