Digital Desk: Prime Minister Narendra Modi arrived in South Africa on Tuesday on a three-day official visit during which he will attend the 15th BRICS summit and hold bilateral meetings with several world leaders.
From August 22 to 24, Modi will travel to Africa at Cyril Ramaphosa's invitation. The first BRICS meeting since 2019 will take place in person in South Africa, which includes Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa.
In a previous statement before leaving New Delhi, Modi claimed that the BRICS was working hard to advance robust collaboration in a variety of industries.
He stated, "We appreciate that BRICS has evolved into a forum for debating and deliberating on topics of interest for the whole Global South, including development imperatives and reform of the global system.
According to him, the summit would give the BRICS a great chance to pinpoint potential areas of collaboration and assess institutional growth.
Modi said on X that he will participate in both the BRICS Plus Dialogue and the BRICS-Africa Outreach meetings. The Summit will provide a forum for talking about development-related topics and concerns for the Global South.
Five of the major developing nations in the world are represented by the BRICS bloc, which consists of Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa. Together, they account for 16% of global commerce and 24% of the world's GDP.
Additionally, more than 20 heads of state from the Middle East and Africa are invited. One of the topics on the Summit agenda is the fact that some of them have applied to join BRICS.
The statement from Modi stated that he was eager to meet with the many guest nations that had been invited to take part in this event.
In addition, he stated, "I look forward to holding bilateral meetings with some of the Leaders present in Johannesburg."
Vladimir Putin, the president of Russia, is anticipated to virtually attend the BRICS conference because his arrival in South Africa could result in his arrest for violating an ICC arrest warrant.
On August 25, the prime minister of South Africa will fly to Greece at the invitation of Kyriakos Mitsotakis, his counterpart in that country. It will be his first time in this remote country. He stated, "I have the privilege of becoming the first Indian Prime Minister to visit Greece in 40 years.
The same ideals of democracy, the rule of law, and pluralism have deepened our relations in modern times, he continued, notwithstanding the two millennia of history between our two civilizations.
He noted that cooperation in a variety of fields, including trade and investment, defence, and cultural and interpersonal ties, has been bringing our two nations closer.
Modi said, adding that he will also be connecting with the Indian community there, and that he looked forward to visiting Greece and starting a new chapter in our complex relationship.
