BRICS Endorses India's Tough Stance Against Terrorism in Delhi Declaration

The Delhi Declaration of BRICS enshrines India's key priorities. It declares a tough stance against terrorism, referring to the Pahalgam terror attack. It also discusses India's entry into the UN Security Council, opposition to unilateral trade barriers, and digital and financial cooperation. The document outlines India's role in the world order and its effectiveness within BRICS. Significantly, this declaration has been passed without opposition from any member state. On Saturday, BRICS fully endorsed India's demand for'zero-tolerance'towards any form of terrorism and non-dual measures in dealing with it. Top leaders of this influential grouping agreed on a united approach to tackle this challenge. In their manifesto, the group also condemned in the "strongest possible terms" the Pahalgam terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir last year, in which 26 people were killed. It said, "We reiterate our commitment to cross-border terrorism and safe havens."
