About BRICS
The BRICS grouping, originally known as BRIC, was formalised in 2006 and became BRICS in 2010 with South Africa’s inclusion. It represents over 41% of the world’s population, 24% of the global GDP, and more than 16% of global trade. Over the years, BRICS has evolved into a vital platform for cooperation among major emerging economies, focusing on political and security issues, economic and financial cooperation, and cultural exchanges.
India’s representation at the meet underscores its growing role in shaping global transport and logistics policies, aligning with its vision to emerge as a global logistics hub and a leader in sustainable infrastructure development.
