The first BRICS Sherpa Meeting commenced on Monday in New Delhi.
Secretary, Economic Relations and India’s BRICS Sherpa Sudhakar Dalela highlighted key priorities of India’s Chairmanship based on Prime Minister’s vision for “people-centric” and “humanity-first” approach for the BRICS.
He stressed that the priorities are also based on the overall theme of ‘Building for Resilience, Innovation, Cooperation and Sustainability.’
BRICS Sherpas are a select group of leaders representing their countries within the BRICS bloc.
The role of a Sherpa is that of being the main channel for communication amongst the BRICS nations.
BRICS brings together eleven major emerging markets and developing countries of the world: Brazil, China, Egypt, Ethiopia, India, Indonesia, Iran, Russia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, United Arab Emirates.
It serves as a useful platform for consultation and cooperation on contemporary issues having global as well as regional significance, and issues of global political and economic governance.
