🎙 FM Sergey Lavrov’s opening remarks during talks with Indian External Affairs Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar
📍 Moscow, November 8, 2022
💬 We are delighted to welcome you to Moscow. We talk regularly, and this reflects the pace of growth that our leaders have set for our particularly privileged strategic partnership.
During the period of rapid change that the international community is going through, it is important to regularly coordinate our assessments and further plans to promote the achievement of all the objectives set by President of Russia Vladimir Putin and Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi in politics, trade and economic spheres, investment, and technology, as well as in cultural and humanitarian exchanges.
We always closely coordinate our actions at international organisations, including the #UN, the UN Security Council where India is a non-permanent member, in #BRICS, the #G20 and the #SCO. All of this enriches our agenda.

🇷🇺🇮🇳 Our countries are united by historical ties that represent mutual respect, self-sufficiency and immunity to the fluctuations of the geopolitical environment. We agreed that the strengthening of the Russia-India privileged and strategic partnership meets the vital interests of our nations and helps maintain international and regional security and stability. We praised our interaction in the world arena, including at the UN, BRICS, the SCO and the G20, as well as other multilateral platforms.
#SCO
🔹 As the SCO evolved, not only has it paid increasingly more attention to the issues of heading off and neutralising new challenges and threats, such as terrorism, extremism and separatism, but it has also capitalised on its comparative advantages.
#BRICS
🔹As an institution, BRICS – Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa – is equally useful, and we need it just as much. Interest in this global association is high and continues to grow. You mentioned several countries, including Algeria, Argentina and Iran, which are showing an interest in this format. In reality, there are over a dozen countries like this.
🤝 Before we give specific details as to how and when BRICS might expand, we, the five BRICS countries, have agreed to coordinate the criteria and principles that we should be guided by when considering applications. We have already received some official applications for membership. Given this, we expect the work on coordinating the criteria and principles that should underlie BRICS expansion to not take much time, but first, we need to understand how this association will continue to develop in a potentially expanded format.
