BRICS Leaders Embrace 20‑Year Development Vision Proposed by India

During his inaugural address, Prime Minister Narendra Modi appealed to the BRICS group to adopt an ambitious twenty‑year development roadmap.

He urged members to create robust mechanisms that ensure consistent implementation of decisions, emphasizing that the bloc has matured into a distinct global force over the past two decades.

Modi stressed that cooperation should be based on mutual respect and shared consensus rather than confrontation, and called for turning the group’s unity into tangible outcomes on the world stage.

The proposal was welcomed by several delegations as a forward‑looking plan to boost trade, investment, technology cooperation and sustainable growth across the emerging economies.
