Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed the BRICS leaders on Sunday, cautioning that the growing weaponisation of technology and critical minerals threatens collective prosperity. Speaking alongside Chinese President Xi Jinping, Russian President Vladimir Putin, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim and Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto, Modi called for a united response to escalating geopolitical tensions that affect ordinary people worldwide.
Modi outlined India’s agenda under its BRICS presidency, centred on four pillars: resilience, innovation, cooperation and sustainability. He announced the creation of a BRICS Integrated Early Warning System for infectious diseases, a logistics supply‑chain cooperation framework to boost reliability, and a BRICS incubator network to link startups and incubators across member nations. These initiatives were presented as concrete steps to enhance preparedness and foster shared growth.
The prime minister linked these measures to broader challenges facing the Global South, noting that pandemics, climate disasters and supply‑chain disruptions have shown how interconnected crises can be. By strengthening resilience and collaborative mechanisms, Modi argued that BRICS can better serve the development aspirations of its southern partners and restore confidence in the bloc’s ability to address global challenges.
