Iran President Masoud Pezeshkian on Friday thanked Prime Minister Narendra Modi for strengthening the BRICS group ahead of the highly anticipated summit in New Delhi that will kick off on September 12.
While addressing the BRICS Business Forum, Pezeshkian said, “I would like to sincerely thank the friendly government and people of India for graciously hosting this meeting, as well as the honourable Prime Minister of India for his valuable efforts to strengthen BRICS cooperation. It is a source of great satisfaction for me to be present today among representatives of the private sector, business enterprises and entrepreneurs who can transform the idea of cooperation within BRICS into tangible economic realities.”
With the Iran war overshadowing the upcoming BRICS Summit, Pezeshkian noted that the world was going through some of its most complex periods, with growing geopolitical uncertainty and disruptions in global manufacturing supply chains.
“We believe that the true strength of BRICS is not confined merely to the size of its members’ economies. Rather, it becomes more apparent when these capacities are transformed into a network of trade, investment and joint financing, that is, a transition from potential cooperation to operational cooperation,” he added.
