There is a need for reforms in international organizations including the Security Council, and a security network should be created for shippers

India strongly appealed to the BRICS countries to work to ensure equal participation of developing countries in the decision-making process of international organizations, including an early decision on the reform of the United Nations Security Council, and reiterated the creation of an emergency assistance network for the security of seafarers in view of the increasing threats on sea lanes. India says that the message of the BRICS summit should be clear that if the future is shared, the right to build it should also be shared. Prime Minister Narendra Modi in his opening remarks while presiding over the first plenary meeting of the 18th BRICS summit hosted by India here on Saturday said that the decision-making process in international organizations is like a pyramid where only a few countries sitting at the top participate in the decision-making process. He appealed to make this system a platform where all countries participate in the decision making process. He said that BRICS has completed 20 years and it should now set the agenda for global governance moving forward according to its responsibility. He said, "While strengthening BRICS, we must also set the direction of global reforms. The current structure of the global governance system looks like a pyramid. At the top are the empowered and the decision-makers and at the bottom are the countries that are affected by these decisions, but cannot shape them." The Prime Minister said, "Developing countries are the first victims of global crises today, but they are the last in line in the decision-making process. We have to change this 'pyramid of privileges' into a platform of 'inclusion, where every country has a voice, every member has an interest and the development of humanity is at the center of every effort.'" Can try to shape. He said that in making this road map we have to take care of three important aspects namely representation, accountability and equal participation in the decision making process. On the issue of representation, the Prime Minister said that the reforms in the United Nations Security Council should not be postponed any longer. For this, he suggested linking discussions based on written proposals with specific timelines and clear outcomes.
He also said that voting rights, leadership positions and policy priorities in financial institutions should be adjusted to the current economic realities. Under accountability, he mentioned the need to focus on the ability of global institutions to deal with problems and the speed, scale and impact of collective responses. He proposed the creation of an emergency assistance network for the safety of seafarers, which would connect the maritime authorities and missions of the respective countries. This will allow for emergency messages, medical assistance, family notification and evacuation support. On the issue of making rules and regulations, the Prime Minister said that AI, cyberspace, outer space, biotechnology and important technologies are also setting global rules along with future opportunities. He explained the need to change the Global South from countries that only follow the rules to countries that play a role in making the rules. For this, BRICS proposed to provide communication skills, practical training and legal skills to the young diplomats and policy makers of the Global South. The Prime Minister said that India is ready to lead in this direction. Narendra Modi said that the message of the BRICS summit held in India should be clear that if the future is shared, the right to build it should also be shared. He reiterated the 20-year commitment of BRICS to move forward in the direction of 'Voice to Influence and Partnership to Privilege'. Describing India's BRICS presidency as people-centric and 'Humanity First', the Prime Minister said that establishing strong, innovative, cooperative and sustainable development has been its main priorities. He said that during India's presidency, more than 350 meetings were held and teams from member countries were received in about 30 cities. Referring to the 20th anniversary of BRICS, the Prime Minister said that the organization has created its own identity at the global level in the last two decades. He said that BRICS moves forward by consensus while respecting each other's point of view and not against anyone, but with everyone in mind. Now unity and consensus need to be translated into concrete results at the global level.
The prime minister said that changing the presidency every year should not stop the institutional momentum of BRICS. For this he proposed to devise a mechanism for BRICS continuity and implementation. Under this, all initiatives and results will be monitored by the 'Troika'. It was also suggested to create a secure digital repository, where each decision is accompanied by the corresponding nodal point, time and status of its implementation.
