BRICS Summit: India Charts New Course for Global South

The BRICS nations concluded their summit with a strong call for global institutional reform and a more inclusive multilateral system. A key focus was climate change, with the bloc urging developed nations to significantly increase funding for mitigation efforts in developing countries.

India, assuming the BRICS presidency next year, has ambitious plans to reshape the grouping’s role on the world stage. This includes a comprehensive review of existing trade agreements, notably with Malaysia.

Furthermore, India is actively pursuing stronger bilateral relationships. Discussions are underway to bolster ties with Cuba, Bolivia, and Uruguay, reflecting New Delhi’s expanding diplomatic footprint in Latin America.

This proactive approach by India signals a shift towards a more assertive and influential role for the BRICS nations, particularly in advocating for the interests of the Global South. The success of these initiatives will be crucial in shaping the future of international cooperation and trade.
