Prime Minister Narendra Modi tells BRICS leaders that the Global South should become a “rule shaper,” using the bloc’s unity to influence global governance. Speaking at the BRICS summit, he calls for immediate reforms to the UN Security Council and outlines a broader set of proposals aimed at changing how international decisions are made.

In his opening remarks, Modi argues that BRICS should move from internal consensus to concrete international outcomes. Mint reports that he presents a “10-point reform roadmap,” while NDTV highlights that the reforms include UN Security Council change and additional global governance measures. Both outlets frame the remarks as part of a push to give greater voice to developing countries in rule-setting institutions.

The outlets differ mainly in emphasis: NDTV foregrounds the Security Council reform and the “rule shaper” message, while Mint focuses more on the practical step of turning BRICS agreement into tangible global actions through the proposed roadmap.
