BRICS leaders must commit to multilateral reform: External affairs minister S Jaishankar

New Delhi: External affairs minister S Jaishankar on Tuesday called on the BRICS leaders to commit to a reformed multilateral system that reflects global realities, stressing the need for more representative and inclusive international institutions.

India, this year, took over the presidency of the BRICS grouping of nations.

Jaishankar, who was speaking at the launch of the BRICS 2026 logo, said the world is navigating multiple complex challenges, making the demand for a reinvigorated, inclusive and effective multilateral order more urgent than ever.


"At a time when the world is also navigating multiple complex challenges, the call for a reinvigorated, inclusive and effective multilateral order has never been more urgent," he said. "BRICS must commit to a reformed multilateralism that reflects contemporary realities, one where institutions like the United Nations, the WTO, IMF and the World Bank are representative and inclusive."
