Modi Calls for 'Ambitious Agenda' for BRICS Over Next Two Decades

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi said BRICS needs an “ambitious agenda” for the next 20 years, according to a report by the Russian news agency TASS.

Modi said the bloc should begin this process by refining its own internal working mechanisms, TASS reported, citing his remarks.

The statement comes as BRICS, which groups Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa, has expanded its membership in recent years and continues to discuss its future direction and priorities.

TASS did not provide additional details on the specific context, venue or date of Modi's remarks in the excerpt reviewed.

Further comments from Modi or other BRICS leaders on the proposed agenda were not immediately available.
