The day two of the BRICS summit is
underway in Goa. The grouping which comprises of Brazil, Russia, India,
China and South Africa is proceeding with its 8th summit since its
formation. The most recent event to conclude at the Summit in Goa is a
restricted meeting of the leaders of the five countries. Speaking at the
summit, Narendra Modi, made India’s position clear on the number one
problem facing the country ie. terrorism emanating from Pakistan.
Modi started out by greeting the other
leaders present at BRICS including Vladimir Putin, Xi Jinping, Jacob
Zuma and Michel Temer. Starting out his address Modi congratulated the
BRICS by saying, “BRICS nations have been a voice for peace,
reform,reason and purposeful action. We’ve built new global
institutions to complement existing architecture. The New Development
Bank and the Contingency Reserve Arrangement stand out.”
Narendra Modi then addressed the issue
that has been hanging in the air for long. The issue of terrorism which
has been haunting India for long was taken up by the Prime Minister.
That terrorism emanates from Pakistan, was a fact made very clear by
Prime Minister Modi as he called the country the “mother-ship of
terror”. The proclamation was especially relevant because of China’s
extremely close ties to Pakistan.
