NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi left for South Africa on August 21 to attend the 15th BRICS Summit at the invitation of South African President Cyril Ramaphosa. He will be in Johannesburg from August 22 to 24, and will follow it up with a visit to Greece on August 25.
This will be PM Modi’s first in-person BRICS Summit since 2019. The grouping will review the progress of the initiatives launched earlier and identify future areas of activity.
“BRICS has been pursuing a strong cooperation agenda across various sectors. We value that BRICS has become a platform for discussing and deliberating on issues of concern for the entire Global South, including development imperatives and reform of the multilateral system,” said PM Modi in a statement.
