BRICS 2026: Ronald Lamola On India, AI, Technology & The Global South | EXCLUSIVE

South Africa’s Foreign Minister has underlined that trade partnerships with India and China within BRICS are complementary rather than competing interests. Highlighting the bloc’s growing importance, the minister described BRICS as a vital platform for Global South nations seeking stronger economic cooperation, multipolar governance, and greater voice in global institutions. The remarks also renewed the call for expanded representation of India and Brazil in the United Nations Security Council as part of broader efforts to reform international bodies and make them more reflective of today’s world.
