Quotes
Narendra Modi
Prime Minister of India and speaker at the BRICS Summit
“Today, the Global South stands in the front row of global crises but in the back row of decision-making. We must transform this 'pyramid of privilege' into a 'platform of partnership'— one where every nation has a voice, every member has a stake, and the development of humanity lies at the heart of every endeavour.”

“While strengthening BRICS, we must also chart a course for global reform. The current structure of global governance resembles a pyramid: power and decision-making are concentrated at the top, while the lower tiers consist of nations that are affected by these decisions yet unable to shape them.”
