The emerging multipolar world demands greater cooperation among countries across international forums. This was stated by Indian External Affairs Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar in a video address to the 2nd International Conference "Russia and India: Toward a New Agenda for Bilateral Relations" in Moscow.
"The evolving multipolar order requires broader cooperation, including through BRICS, the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO), the G20, and the United Nations (UN). During its BRICS Chairship, India, guided by the principles of humanity, looks forward to close cooperation with Russia to address common challenges in a balanced and inclusive manner," Jaishankar noted.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, in his video address to conference participants, also emphasised the two countries' foreign policy coordination. He praised New Delhi's independent course, which strengthens India's position as one of the world's leading centres in the emerging multipolar world.
"Strengthening our special and privileged strategic partnership with New Delhi is one of our absolute foreign policy priorities. We highly appreciate that our Indian friends fully share this approach. This year, India is chairing #BRICS under the motto 'Strengthening Resilience, Innovation, Cooperation, and Stability.' We are ready to fully support our Indian friends throughout their term as the presiding chair," the Russian Foreign Minister stated.
