The NSA's remarks came ahead of the annual BRICS summit set to take place in Kazan, Russia, next month. The summit, scheduled for October 22-24, will be attended by leaders of the BRICS nations, including Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Moscow: India’s National Security Advisor (NSA) Ajit Doval urged BRICS nations to collaborate in addressing modern security challenges such as terrorism and digital threats, during a conclave of the national security advisors in Saint Petersburg, Russia.
Doval, speaking at the BRICS (Brazil-Russia-India-China-South Africa) meeting, emphasized the need for coordinated action to tackle issues stemming from Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and growing concerns over terrorism.
He also called for reforms in multilateral institutions, suggesting that existing global structures are ill-equipped to handle the complex challenges of the modern era. The BRICS NSAs reviewed pressing global security concerns, including the rise of cyber threats and terrorism and discussed potential strategies for joint action within the BRICS framework. Doval stressed that collective efforts were necessary to confront these issues and ensure global stability.
