| BRICS Summit | | | India is all set to host the BRICS Summit in New Delhi . The summit will be attended by leaders of 11 member countries and 10 partner countries besides some international organisations. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has exuded confidence that there will be positive and meaningful discussions at the BRICS Summit on various issues with a shared wish for global welfare. The BRICS has evolved significantly since its inception. What began as a grouping of emerging economies has gradually transformed into an influential platform representing a substantial share of the world’s population and economic activity. With the expansion of the grouping and the inclusion of partner countries, its global relevance has increased further. For India, hosting the summit is not merely a diplomatic responsibility but also an opportunity to articulate its vision of a more inclusive and balanced international order. New Delhi has consistently advocated dialogue over confrontation and cooperation over division. Its emphasis on development, technology, energy security, food security and sustainable growth can provide common ground among countries with different political and economic systems. The summit also comes at a time when the developing world is seeking a greater voice in global decision-making. Institutions created in a different era do not always adequately reflect contemporary economic realities. BRICS can therefore become an important vehicle for strengthening the voice of the Global South and promoting reforms in global governance institutions. Economic cooperation will naturally remain at the heart of the discussions. Greater trade and investment among member and partner countries can create new opportunities for businesses, entrepreneurs and young people. Cooperation in digital technology, infrastructure, innovation, healthcare, agriculture and renewable energy can help convert the grouping’s enormous collective potential into tangible benefits for ordinary citizens. At the same time, India must ensure that BRICS remains a constructive platform rather than becoming an arena for geopolitical confrontation. Its strength lies in its diversity. Member countries may have differences on several international issues, but they can still cooperate where their interests converge. The summit also provides India an opportunity to showcase its growing economic and technological capabilities and its commitment to sustainable development. The country’s experience with digital public infrastructure, financial inclusion, renewable energy and large-scale welfare delivery can offer valuable lessons to fellow developing nations. Ultimately, the success of the BRICS Summit should not be measured merely by the number of declarations issued or agreements signed. Its real success will lie in whether it strengthens mutual trust, expands economic cooperation and contributes to solutions for challenges confronting humanity. |
