Modi-Putin meet

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Russian President Vladimir Putin met on Sep 11 ahead of BRICS Summit and agreed to deepen ‌their countries' longstanding ties. Putin said that the BRICS grouping should build a new platform for global growth free from Western rules. "We have always been told that competition is a sacred cow, something that must not be touched," Putin told a BRICS business forum event. "Yet, unfortunately, today your Western competitors are trying by any means necessary to regain their former leadership. This competition is sometimes assuming unsightly forms," he said, as Modi, Pezeshkian and South African President Cyril Ramaphosa listened. "They even include ​direct physical attacks or the destruction of industrial and logistical facilities, pipelines, and so forth."

Putin said attempts were being made to block international transport corridors and ​seize ships, without elaborating. "Illegal restrictions are also being imposed, accompanied by threats of so-called secondary sanctions against those who refuse to act in others' interests and instead defend their own ‌national interests," ⁠he said, adding that BRICS would build "a new, sustainable platform for global growth".

Earlier, during their meet at the SCO Summit in Bishek, PM Modi had told Putin, “Every day spent in war sets humanity back, whereas every step taken towards peace fills humanity with new hope and enthusiasm. We must move away from endless war towards an end to the war. This is essential for the well-being of humanity. A peaceful resolution to all issues at the earliest is the call of humanity, and this is India’s message. PM Modi added that the “land of Gandhi and the land of Buddha share a single message: the path of peace."
