According to reports, Malaysia’s Foreign Minister Mohamad Hasan is expected to arrive in the Indian capital on Wednesday for the high-level meeting hosted by Subrahmanyam Jaishankar.
India’s Ministry of External Affairs said the meeting will focus on discussions surrounding key global and regional issues of common interest among BRICS member states and partner countries. Ministers and representatives are also expected to deliberate on topics related to resilience, innovation, cooperation, sustainability, as well as reforms to global governance and multilateral systems.
