Prime Minister Narendra Modi has said
that we stand united in strongly condemning the dreadful acts of terrorism in
Paris. We express our deepest sympathy and support to Russia for the loss of
life in Sinai. Ankara and Beirut are also reminders of terror's growing spread
and impact.
He further said that the entire humanity
must stand together as one against terrorism. The need for a united global
effort to combat terrorism has never been more urgent. This must also be a
priority for BRICS nations.
There was a time when the logic of BRICS
and its lasting capacity were being questioned. We have provided proof of the
relevance and value of BRICS through our actions. And, this has come at a time
of huge global challenges.
The New Development Bank, the Currency
Reserve Arrangement, Strategy for BRICS Economic Cooperation - these are clear
evidence of our vision and our resolve. Together, we can also give shape to
G20.
India attaches the highest importance to
BRICS. We are honoured to assume the Chairmanship of BRICS from 1st February,
2016 and build on the great work done by other Members.
The theme of India's BRICS Chairmanship
will be “Building Responsive, Inclusive and Collective Solutions” which, in
short, will be 'BRICS'. It aptly describes the ethos of our group.
Modi said that we are pleased that a
BRICS partner, China, takes over the Presidency of G20 in December 2015. We
assure China of full support during its Presidency.
