Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday said India is committed to BRICS as a vital platform for cooperation among emerging economies as he left on a week-long visit to five countries, including Brazil where he will attend the bloc’s meeting.
“Together, we strive for a more peaceful, equitable, just, democratic and balanced multipolar world order,” he said in his departure statement.
During the week-long travel, the PM will visit Ghana, Trinidad and Tobago, Argentina, Brazil and Namibia.
Ghana will be his first port of call. Modi said that at the invitation of President John Dramani Mahama, he will be there on July 2 and 3.
Ghana is a valued partner in the Global South and plays an important role in the African Union and the Economic Community of West African States, he said, adding that he looked forward to talks aimed at further deepening the two countries’ historical ties and opening up new windows of cooperation, including in the areas of investment, energy, health, security, capacity building and development partnership.
