What these countries do share, however, is an aspiration to be “rule makers” instead of “rule takers” within global governance. The 2009 BRIC summit’s joint declaration outlined foundations for a common “thought” among member states, including the primacy of the rule of law and multilateral diplomacy with a leading role for the UN (Ministério das Relações Exteriores do Brasil 2008, 2). This produced a common standpoint and meant that the BRICS became a new driving force for change within global Copyright: governance, leading to the promotion of South-South cooperation.

Our interaction during the restricted session was constructive. It enriched our mutual understanding and perspectives. After more than a decade of existence, BRICS has developed a robust framework for cooperation. We contribute stability and growth in a world drifting towards uncertainty. While trade and economy have been the foundation of our cooperation, our endeavours today touch diverse areas of technology, tradition, culture, agriculture, environment, energy, sports, and ICT. The New Development Bank has started disbursing loans in pursuit of its mandate to mobilize resources for infrastructure and sustainable development in BRICS countries. At the same time, our Central Banks have taken steps to make the Contingent Reserve Arrangement fully operational. These are milestones of progress we can build upon. Looking ahead, it is important that our people remain at the centre of our journey. I am happy to note that China has taken forward the people-to-people thrust of our exchanges from last year. Such inter-mingling will consolidate our links and deepen our understanding. Excellencies, India’s own far-reaching journey of transformation gives pride of place to our people. We are in mission-mode to eradicate poverty; to ensure health, sanitation, skills, food security, gender equality, energy, education and innovation.

September 15, 2017 The 9th BRICS Summit concluded on September 4, 2017 in Xiamen, China. The three-day gathering began on September 3, 2017. It essentially brought together the five fast-growing economies i.e. Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa, who are seeking to play a greater role on the world stage. The term BRIC was first coined by Goldman Sachs economist Jim O’Neill in 2001 in their Global Economics Paper, “The World Needs Better Economic BRICs” where the acronym BRICs stood for a grouping of the countries of Brazil, Russia, India and China which were all deemed to be at a similar stage of newly advanced economic development. The grouping of the four member countries was finally formalised during the first meeting of BRIC Foreign Ministers on the margins of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in New York in 2006. The first BRIC Summit was held in Yekaterinburg, Russia, on 16 June 2009. It was later agreed to expand BRIC into BRICS with the inclusion of South Africa at the BRIC Foreign Ministers’ meeting in New York in September 2010. The motivation behind forming the group was to tackle the financial, as well as social needs of these large populated countries, both individually and collectively.

Dr. Abhishek Pratap Singh India's Foreign
Dr. Abhishek Pratap Singh India’s Foreign Policy in a Globalising World, BA (H)-VI Sem 1. Introduction Increasing globalization and interdependence between nations across the globe has enhanced the need for healthy diplomatic relations amongst all countries. Today, a sound and strategic foreign policy is crucial for having a voice in international platforms, for effective trade and investments, and for achieving consistent domestic progress. India’s foreign policy has developed greatly since independence. Policies for forming global interactions progressed from being principled to goal-driven and objective orientated. Post-independence, India’s agenda revolved primarily around fostering new relationships with colonial and ex-colonial nations to encourage peace and cooperation in light of international disputes such as the Cold War. Significant conflicts with neighbours like China and Pakistan led to necessary changes in India’s foreign policy, with the country no longer remaining neutral in its relations. Ties with the USA, Soviet Union, and several other countries were in constant flux due to the allegiances formed during both the Sino-Indian and the Indo-Pakistani wars. It was this shift that led to greater military preparedness and development of more agenda-driven foreign policies. The 1991 industrial policy saw India turning to a mixed economy, thereby transforming its economic and trade policies with the outside world. This greatly opened up opportunities for employment and manufacturing in the country, and created a new avenue for cooperation and interaction with several countries of the world. 2. Current Development in India’s Foreign Policy The recent government has been making active efforts to expand India’s diplomatic footprint, foster strong international ties, and use these global relationships for mutual advantage and progress.
