'Transform into rule-shapers': At BRICS 2026, PM Modi pushes for Global South as decision makers
Prime Minister Narendra Modi unveiled a 10-point roadmap for global governance reform under the BRICS framework.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi urged the BRICS nations to reshape global governance in a manner that elevates the Global South's role in decision-making. He unveiled a 10-point roadmap for reform under the BRICS framework, emphasizing the need to transition from a "pyramid of privilege" to a "platform of partnership" where every nation has a voice and stake.
Modi proposed a "Seafarers’ Emergency Support Network" to protect mariners facing increased risks due to regional conflicts. The summit, attended by key BRICS leaders and partner countries, comes amid geopolitical fragmentation and global economic challenges stemming from conflicts in West Asia and the Ukraine war. Modi called for a new and ambitious agenda for the next 20 years, advocating for representation, responsiveness, and rule-making within the BRICS bloc.
He stressed that the Global South currently stands "in the front row of global crises but in the back row of decision-making," and urged BRICS to transform this imbalance into a more equitable partnership.
