Modi calls for coordinated action on counter terrorism

TIL Desk/World/Xiamen/ Prime Minister Narendra Modi today pitched for coordinated action on counter terrorism, cyber security and disaster management, as he suggested 10 ‘noble commitments’ through which BRICS leadership in global transformation can be achieved.

Modi, while speaking at the ‘BRICS Emerging Markets and Developing Countries Dialogue’ organised by China on sidelines of the 9th BRICS Summit as an outreach exercise, said India has a long tradition of partnerships with fellow developing countries, while pursuing its own aspirations for growth.

“Whatever we do, will impact the world substantially. So, it is our solemn duty to make a better world — brick by brick, or, through BRICS….,” Modi said.

“I had spoken about the BRICS driving the global transformation in the next ten years for it to be a Golden Decade. I suggest that this can be brought about with our proactive approach, policies, and action,” Modi said while putting forward ten noble commitments through which BRICS leadership in global transformation can be achieved.

The ten noble commitments suggested by Modi included creating a safer world by “organised and coordinated action on at least three issues: Counter Terrorism, Cyber Security and Disaster Management”.
