The establishment and growth of BRICS have been a positive factor in global affairs. The group
has contributed significantly to creating an alternative narrative on growth and sustainable
development for the benefit of developing countries and emerging economies. It has provided
a unique forum to discuss important global governance issues and to deliberate on solutions
and ideas that benefit all. We call for further strengthening of engagement among the BRICS
countries at all levels –governments, academics, business, scientists and peoples.
We the participants of the BRICS academic process and members of the BRICS Think Tank
Council (BTTC) appreciate the efforts of the BRICS leadership in maintaining regular
interaction with the BRICS experts and academic community. We would like to recommend
and communicate the following for the consideration of the BRICS Leaders as they convene in
2021 under Indian Presidency.
