Bengaluru: Union Minister Pralhad Joshi on Thursday said the fifth meeting of heads of BRICS National Standardisation Bodies (NSBs) in Bengaluru would mark a major achievement with the signing of the long-pending BRICS Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on cooperation in standardisation, creating a formal framework for collaboration among member nations.
The minister, who holds consumer affairs, food and public distribution portfolio, said the two-day meeting, being held under India's 2026 BRICS Chairship, would also deliberate on standards for artificial intelligence (AI), trade facilitation, technical cooperation and capacity building, while enabling BRICS countries to jointly shape international standards.
