PM Modi Highlights Four Pillars of India’s BRICS Presidency

Prime Minister Narendra Modi outlined the four pillars of India’s BRICS presidency during the summit in New Delhi, emphasizing cooperation and leadership for the Global South. The summit also saw discussions on trade imbalances between India and China and global geopolitical challenges, including opposition from former US President Donald Trump.

Modi described the BRICS collaboration as a 'win-win' partnership focused on mutual growth and development. The summit featured significant interactions, including a warm exchange between Russian President Vladimir Putin and South African President Cyril Ramaphosa. Putin concluded his two-day visit to India following the summit. Discussions also addressed the transition of the BRICS presidency to China next year, as India wrapped up its term.
