Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday called for BRICS-BIMSTEC cooperation for development, with particular focus on energy, agriculture and technology.
"To me, the areas of commerce, connectivity, culture, security and disaster management appear promising in identifying collaborative possibilities," Modi said in his opening remarks at the BRICS outreach meeting with BIMSTEC.
BRICS comprises Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa. India is also a member of BIMSTEC (Bay of Bengal Initiative for Multi-Sectoral Technical and Economic Cooperation), which includes Nepal, Myanmar, Bhutan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Thailand. Modi, who is hosting the BRICS leaders for its eighth summit, also invited his counterparts from BIMSTEC for a meeting with the five-nation group.
The prime minister stressed on trade, investment and commercial partnerships among the BRICS and BIMSTEC nations. He also suggested that the members of the two blocs could pool resources to fight terrorism and transnational crime.
"Economy and commerce can unlock new drivers of growth and benefit. The economic emergence of the BIMSTEC countries fits well with the BRICS countries' experiences," he said.
