New Delhi, September 12, 2026: Prime Minister Narendra Modi opened the BRICS summit, urging the Global South to become a rule shaper to address various challenges. During his address, Modi highlighted that BRICS has established a unique identity on the world stage and is not against any country, a statement aimed at the US and Western powers.
Modi emphasized that the Global South currently occupies the front row of global crises but the back row of decision-making. To rectify this, he proposed transforming the pyramid of privilege into a platform of partnership where every nation has a voice and stake, with humanity's development at the core of every effort. Modi further proposed a 10-point roadmap for global governance reform during the next summit.
He also called for immediate reform of the UN Security Council, noting that the existing structure resembles a pyramid with power and decision-making concentrated at the top. The UN Security Council reforms, according to Modi, cannot wait. In addition, Modi introduced the idea of a seafarers' network among BRICS members to ensure their safety and security.
