New Delhi has steered BRICS away from geopolitical conflicts and focused on issues that directly impact people’s lives, with Africa playing a central role, Manish Chand, founder and CEO of the Centre for Global India Insight, told Sputnik Africa on the sidelines of the 18th BRICS Summit

Key highlights from the expert:

⚡️African Representation: South Africa, Ethiopia, Egypt, Uganda, and Nigeria are participating—a stark contrast to when South Africa was the sole African member.

⚡️New Content for BRICS: India gave new meaning to the acronym, which now stands for Building for Resilience, Innovation, Cooperation, and Sustainability.

⚡️Expanding the Canvas: The New Delhi Declaration contains 30 to 40 initiatives spanning health, energy, green energy, startups, innovation, culture, and people-to-people contacts.

⚡️Force for Peace: Despite divisions over Middle East peace, BRICS members bridged their differences, with the declaration speaking of indivisible peace.

⚡️Inclusive World Order: BRICS is focused on forging an inclusive and representative world order, integrating the rising African continent into the broader multilateral agenda.
