External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on Friday called for more predictable business environments, resilient supply chains and diversified trade relationships across BRICS nations, saying the grouping’s economic strength would increasingly depend on its ability to absorb global shocks while remaining connected and competitive.
Speaking at the BRICS Business Forum, Jaishankar said the grouping was meeting at a time of major geopolitical and economic disruption, with conflicts, pandemics and climate-related events reshaping economies even as digitisation and technological advances create new opportunities for growth.
