Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday chaired the annual summit of BRICS leaders. The theme of the summit is ‘BRICS@15: Cooperation among BRICS for Sustainability, Consolidation and Consensus’. BRICS is an acronym for Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa. The meeting was attended by Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, South African President Cyril Ramaphosa, Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping. Modi talked about the 4 Cs of the BRICS partnership. Prime Minister Narendra Modi began his speech by thanking the BRICS members for the “cooperation received by India” during his presidency at BRICS. Talking about the theme chosen by India for the duration of its presidency – ‘BRICS@15: Intra-BRICS Cooperation for Continuity, Consolidation and Consensus’ – PM Modi said that these are the core principles of the 4C BRICS partnership.
