BRICS may propose new security initiatives during India’s Chairship, stated Russian Deputy Foreign Minister and Russia’s BRICS Sherpa Sergey Ryabkov.
"As India prepares to assume Chairship, we look forward with anticipation to our Indian partners presenting their perspectives on key priorities of BRICS. I anticipate that in the coming year we may hear something new from BRICS even in the sphere of ‘hard security’," he noted.
According to Ryabkov, BRICS "will continue to focus on ‘hard security’ in the broad sense of this term. However, it does not mean BRICS will necessarily serve as an idea generator or a guiding beacon in this particular sphere."
"There are certain domains where this is feasible, with artificial intelligence representing one of such domains. Under Brazil’s leadership this year, BRICS achieved a milestone: alongside streamlined wordings incorporated into the principal Summit’s declaration in Rio de Janeiro, BRICS adopted its first-ever standalone leaders’ declaration focusing on artificial intelligence. This is a significant step further. It also illustrates that #BRICS might be undergoing an internal transformation," the senior Russian diplomat pointed out.
