India highlights role of BRICS as a voice for emerging economies

New Delhi, Sep 9 (Prensa Latina) Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi noted on Thursday that the members of the BRICS group are an influential voice for the emerging economies and serve to focus attention on developing nations.

Those nations account for 42 percent of the world’s population, 23 percent of the global Gross Domestic Product and 16 percent of world trade, and cover an area of approximately 27 percent of the earth’s land surface.

Modi thanked all BRICS members for their cooperation during his transitional presidency of the organization.

He also highlighted the creation by the BRICS of strong institutions such as the New Development Bank, the Contingency Reserve Arrangement and the Energy Research Cooperation Platform.
