Prime Minister Narendra Modi has said the BRICS Summit 2026 can provide fresh momentum to meaningful dialogue and cooperation aimed at advancing global welfare. His remarks came as leaders of the grouping focus on strengthening partnerships and addressing shared international challenges.
In a social media post, Modi highlighted the importance of constructive engagement and collective thinking among countries. He also shared a Sanskrit verse emphasising the value of sitting with virtuous people, maintaining the company of the good, and engaging in debate and friendship with them.
The Prime Minister’s message underlined the broader role of BRICS as a platform for dialogue among emerging and major economies. The grouping has increasingly become an important forum for discussions on economic cooperation, development, global governance and common challenges.
Modi’s reference to the Sanskrit verse also carried a message about the importance of choosing cooperation and dialogue over confrontation. The verse advocates association with those who are considered good and discourages engagement with those who act otherwise.
The BRICS Summit comes at a time when the international community is dealing with geopolitical tensions, economic uncertainties and growing calls for greater representation in global institutions. India has consistently advocated dialogue, consensus and cooperation in international affairs.
Modi’s comments are expected to reinforce India’s emphasis on BRICS as a forum for constructive engagement and collective action. The summit is likely to provide leaders an opportunity to exchange views on global issues while exploring avenues for deeper cooperation and shared development.
