1. We support dialogue and diplomacy and, just as we together defeated a challenge like COVID, in the same way we are fully capable of creating new opportunities for a safe, strong and prosperous future for the future generation...Similarly, we should work for global regulations for cyber security and safe and secure AI.
2.There is talk of North-South and East-West divide in the world... And, in the age of technology, new challenges like cyber security, deep fake, and disinformation have emerged. In such a situation, there are many expectations from BRICS.

3.I believe that as a diverse and inclusive platform, BRICS can play a positive role on all issues. In this context, our approach should remain people-centric. We should give the message to the world that BRICS is not a divisive but a public interest group."
4.While taking forward the efforts of BRICS, we should keep in mind that the image of this organisation should not be such that we do not want to reform global institutions but want to replace them.
5.Containing inflation, ensuring security in food, energy, health and water sectors are priority issues for all countries.
