India welcomes consensus-based approach to expand BRICS: PM
India welcomes the expansion of the BRICS grouping through a consensus-based approach, Prime Minister Narendra Modi declared in Johannesburg on Wednesday. Addressing the plenary session of the 15th BRICS summit in the historic South African city, the PM urged member States to take advantage of India’s digital solutions and to work for the welfare of the Global South. India fully supports the idea of expansion of the membership of the BRICS and welcomes a consensus-based process,” Mr. Modi said. Continuing with India’s priorities in its G-20 presidency year, Mr. Modi kept the focus of his speech on the prospects of the Global South and the African Union, which is being represented at the BRICS summit by the east African nation of Comoros. Mr. Modi also reminded the plenary session that Johannesburg has an “old and deep relationship” with India, as Mahatma Gandhi had organised the nearby Tolstoy farm during his stint in South Africa.
