Ten BRICS nations strongly condemned the recent terrorist attack in Pahalgam and agreed to act collectively against terrorism in a joint statement passed during the 11th BRICS Parliamentary Forum held in Brazil.

The forum was held between June 4 and 5 in Brasilia, Brazil.

The event saw the participation from the parliaments of all 10 member countries, including India.

 The Indian delegation was led by Om Birla, Speaker of the Lok Sabha, along with a high-level parliamentary team.

Delegations from the parliaments of these countries actively participated in the conference and played a key role in shaping the joint declaration.

Stance on AI

After multiple rounds of intensive discussions and deliberations, a broad consensus was reached on key global issues such as the responsible use of Artificial Intelligence (AI), global trade and economy, inter-parliamentary cooperation, global peace and security.

India’s stance on various issues was widely appreciated and was unanimously incorporated into the final joint declaration.

"In particular, India’s firm policy on countering terrorism was strongly acknowledged," read a statement issued by the Indian government.

India unequivocally condemned all terrorist attacks and emphatically advocated for the adoption of a zero-tolerance policy towards terrorism.

India to host 12th BRICS Parliamentary Forum

At the conclusion of the conference, India was entrusted with hosting the 12th BRICS Parliamentary Forum next year, and Lok Sabha Speaker Shri Om Birla was formally handed over the chairmanship.

India will now play an active role in strengthening cooperation among BRICS parliaments and advancing a shared approach to addressing global challenges.
