President of Iran, quoted by the Iranian Embassy in New Delhi

“Partnership within BRICS is consistently built on the principles of equality, good-neighbourliness, and mutual consideration of interests along with respect for one another’s cultural and civilisational diversity, history, traditions, and values. It stands to reason, then, that the credibility and influence of BRICS around the globe are steadily growing.”
