Prime Minister Narendra Modi strongly condemned terrorism during his speech at the 17th BRICS Summit held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Addressing the session on Peace, Security, and Global Governance Reform, he called terrorism a “grave threat to humanity”. PM Modi specifically referred to the recent terror attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, and criticized Pakistan for supporting terrorism.
He urged the global community to take a firm and consistent stand against terrorism rather than making token gestures. Modi also expressed gratitude to nations that supported India’s stand against terrorism.
The BRICS Summit this year was marked by discussions on global political issues including security and trade tensions. The summit saw notable absences, with leaders like China’s President Xi Jinping and Russia’s President Vladimir Putin skipping the event. Despite this, Modi emphasized the importance of reforming global institutions to better represent the developing world.
The attack in Pahalgam has drawn widespread international condemnation and contributed to the summit’s focus on security. Prime Minister Modi’s remarks underscored India’s call for united global action against terror activities threatening peace and development.
