Looking forward to meeting top leaders, says PM Narendra Modi before leaving for BRICS Summit
Indian PM Narendra Modi left for Russia on Tuesday to attend the BRICS Summit and said he is looking forward to meeting key leaders during his visit to Kazan.
"I am departing today on a two day visit to Kazan at the invitation of H.E. Mr. Vladimir Putin, President of the Russian Federation, to attend the 16th BRICS Summit," Modi said in his departure statement.
"India values the close cooperation within BRICS which has emerged as an important platform for dialogue and discussion on issues concerning the global developmental agenda, reformed multilateralism, climate change, economic cooperation, building resilient supply chains, promoting cultural and people to people connect, among others," Modi said.
"The expansion of BRICS with the addition of new members last year has added to its inclusivity and agenda for the global good," the Indian leader said.
