  "account": "At the recent Brics Business Forum, India's external affairs minister S Jaishankar urged fellow BRICS nations to create a stable trading environment, bolster supply chains, and enable trade in local currencies. Jaishankar emphasized the importance of building resilience, innovation, cooperation, and sustainability during a time of global political and economic upheaval caused by conflicts, pandemics, and climate disruptions. He called for \"greater self-reliance\" within BRICS to enhance economic security and highlighted the need for genuine market practices, dependable logistics, a predictable business environment, diverse commercial relationships, and transparent trade and investment. Commerce and industry minister Piyush Goyal reiterated that BRICS accounts for nearly a quarter of global trade and stressed the importance of deep, resilient trade with diversified supply chains to prevent trade from hindering growth and well-being. Goyal also pushed for BRICS members to open their markets, simplify regulations, speed up clearances, and link payment systems to trade in each other's local currencies.",
