BRICS Gains Influence in Emerging Multipolar World Order
BRICS is a group of countries that is becoming more important in world affairs.
Its summit is being held while countries face conflicts and energy problems.
Professor Manas Behera said BRICS could help create a world where power is shared among more countries.
He said the group may also encourage members to use their own currencies more in trade instead of relying so heavily on the US dollar.
BRICS is discussing issues such as climate change, artificial intelligence, terrorism and world peace.
India is using the summit to talk with Russia, Iran and China.
India and Russia may expand cooperation in energy, defence and other industries.
India and China may also look for more trade despite disagreements over their border and economic relationship.
Foreign affairs expert Manas Behera said the 18th BRICS Summit is important for India, the global economy and geopolitics.
BRICS has expanded from five founding countries to 11 full members and 10 partner countries, according to Behera.
Behera said BRICS represents about 40% of global GDP and 49% of the world’s population.
The summit is addressing multipolarity, reduced reliance on the US dollar, climate change, artificial intelligence, terrorism and global security.
Behera said India can use the summit to deepen ties with Russia, Iran and China, including cooperation in energy, trade, defence and other sectors.
