PM Modi said the BRICS countries should firmly deal with terrorism and terror financing.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi attended the Closed Plenary Session of the BRICS Summit in Russia on Wednesday and said India supports dialogue and diplomacy, not war.
We support dialogue and diplomacy, not war. And, just as we defeated a challenge like COVID, in the same way, we can create new opportunities for a safe, strong, and prosperous future for the next generation.
Similarly, he said, addressing the event, we should work for global regulations on cyber security and safe and secure AI.
We all need to come together and work jointly against terrorism and terror funding. There cannot be double standards on the matter as this is of the gravest nature.
He added that we must take positive measures to stop radicalization among our country’s youth and collectively work on the long-pending issue of the Comprehensive Convention on International Terrorism in the UN.
He added that when facing several challenges, BRICS countries should always be human-centric.
“Our meeting is taking place when many challenges like wars, conflicts, economic uncertainty, climate change, and terrorism surround the world.
There is talk of the North-South and East-West divides in the world. In the age of technology, new challenges like cyber security and deepfake disinformation have emerged.
In such a situation, there are many expectations from BRICS. As a diverse and inclusive platform, I believe that BRICS can play a positive role in all issues. In this context, our approach should remain people-centric. We should tell the world that BRICS is not a divisive but a public interest group,” he said.
