On Monday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi stated that India will reshape BRICS when it assumes the chairmanship.

During the BRICS Summit in Brazil, he articulated that BRICS would signify “Building Resilience and Innovation for Cooperation and Sustainability.”

PM Modi remarked, “Under India’s BRICS Chairmanship, we will redefine BRICS. It will represent ‘Building Resilience and Innovation for Cooperation and Sustainability.'”

Prime Minister Modi took part in the 17th BRICS Summit taking place in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The leaders engaged in fruitful discussions on various topics on the BRICS agenda, such as reforming global governance, amplifying the voice of the global south, peace and security, bolstering multilateralism, development issues, and Artificial Intelligence.

While addressing the session on Global Governance and Peace and Security earlier today, the Prime Minister emphasized that terrorism poses a significant threat to humanity. He pointed out that the Pahala terror attack in April 2025 was not merely an assault on India, but an attack on all of humanity.

Advocating for decisive global action against terrorism, Prime Minister Modi asserted that those who finance, promote, or shelter terrorists must face the strictest consequences.

He stressed the importance of eliminating double standards in the fight against terrorism. He expressed gratitude to the BRICS leaders for their strong condemnation of the Pahalgam terror attack. Urging BRICS nations to enhance the global battle against terrorism, he reiterated the need for zero tolerance in addressing this issue.
