04:07India’s External Affairs Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar called on BRICS to play a 'constructive and stabilising' role for emerging economies and developing countries, as he opened a meeting of the bloc’s foreign ministers in New Delhi on Thursday.
"Gathering today for the BRICs meeting is, however, a special occasion. It allows us to exchange perspectives and encourages us to develop convergences. And in this complicated and uncertain world that is of ever greater importance," Jaishankar said.
"We meet at a time of considerable flux in international relations. Ongoing conflicts, economic uncertainties and challenges in trade, technology and climate are shaping the global landscape. There is a growing expectation, particularly from emerging markets and developing countries, that BRICS will play a constructive and stabilising role in this background," he continued.
The BRICS Foreign Ministers’ Meeting is taking place in New Delhi from May 14 to 15 under India’s chairship.
Ministers and heads of delegation from BRICS member and partner countries are expected to review two decades of cooperation and discuss political, economic, security and humanitarian issues.
