She said stronger bonds among BRICS nations could become an important step towards stability and development. Mayawati also welcomed discussions around a possible BRICS currency, saying it could further strengthen economic cooperation among member countries.
The BSP chief highlighted BRICS’ stand on the Palestine issue, saying member countries showed united support for a two-state solution and an independent Palestine based on the 1967 borders.
She also appreciated BRICS’ position against terrorism, particularly the support extended towards India’s concerns following the Pahalgam terror attack.
Speaking about India’s relationship with China, Mayawati said the approach of ensuring that differences do not turn into disputes would have to be judged by future outcomes.
She stressed that an early resolution of the border issue between the two countries would be in the interest of both nations.
Mayawati’s remarks came as leaders from BRICS member countries gathered in New Delhi for the 18th BRICS Summit, where discussions focused on global governance, economic cooperation, terrorism, technology and international challenges.
