India’s Expanding Global Footprint Across BRICS, Quad and G20

India works with many different groups of countries at the same time.

These groups include BRICS, the Quad, the G20 and the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation.

Each group helps India pursue a different goal.

The Quad focuses on the Indo-Pacific, technology and safer supply chains.

The Shanghai Cooperation Organisation helps India engage on security and Central Asia.

BRICS gives India a way to work with developing and emerging economies.
