Prime Minister Narendra Modi called for a reset of global governance at the BRICS summit, outlining a roadmap for reforms that would give the Global South more decision‑making power and urging changes to institutions like the UN Security Council.
The BRICS summit in Johannesburg saw Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi deliver a speech that focused on reshaping global governance structures. He argued that the current system favours a small group of powerful nations and called for a more inclusive approach.
Modi presented a comprehensive roadmap for BRICS reforms, stressing the need to increase decision‑making power for the Global South. He highlighted the importance of giving these nations a stronger voice in key international bodies.
The Prime Minister also urged urgent reforms to institutions such as the United Nations Security Council, proposing that its composition be revised to reflect contemporary geopolitical realities. Additionally, he suggested establishing a BRICS continuity mechanism to ensure ongoing dialogue between member states.
While the speech was met with support from several BRICS partners, critics noted that implementing such changes would require significant diplomatic effort and consensus among existing global powers.
