This marks the first time these nations attended a key BRICS meeting, which was hosted by Russia in Nizhny Novgorod. Indian delegation was led by senior diplomat Dammu Ravi at the BRICS Foreign Ministers’ Meeting.
Randhir Jaiswal, spokesperson for the Ministry of External Affairs, expressed India’s enthusiastic support for the new members on social media, highlighting the significance of the expanded BRICS family.
