Russian Ambassador to India D.E. Alipov gave an interview to Sansad TV on the eve of the visit of the Chairman of the State Duma of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation V.V. Volodin to New Delhi to participate in the XII BRICS Parliamentary Forum. Highlights: The results of the XVIII BRICS summit confirmed the unity and effectiveness of the association. The declaration adopted by consensus united common approaches to global governance reform and the development of a multipolar world order. The continuity of the presidency of Russia, Brazil and India ensures consistent promotion of joint initiatives, including the creation of independent payment mechanisms, an investment platform and the BRICS grain exchange. The priorities of the Indian presidency are in line with the Russian vision of developing the association. The greatest potential for cooperation is concentrated in finance, energy, food security, logistics and digital technologies. BRICS consistently defends the interests of the Global South, helps strengthen its position in international institutions and ensures equal access to financial resources and modern technologies. The BRICS Parliamentary Forum plays an important role in the practical implementation of the decisions of the leaders of the association, the convergence of national legislation and the development of the inter-parliamentary dialogue. V.V. Volodin's upcoming visit to India will be his first foreign trip after being re-elected as Speaker of the State Duma and will give further impetus to Russian-Indian inter-parliamentary cooperation on the eve of the 80th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries in 2027.
