00:00Malaysia's participation in the BRICS Foreign Minister's Meeting comes as the bloc continues to play a bigger role in shaping
00:07global economic cooperation and addressing geopolitical challenges.
00:11Our correspondent Amirul Aiman joins us from New Delhi with more details.
00:16Right, I'm currently in New Delhi for the 2026 BRICS Foreign Minister's Meeting which begins tomorrow, Thursday and Friday
00:26and will focus on global economic resilience, reform of international governance and cooperation among developed nations.
00:35Foreign Minister Dato' Sri Muhammad Hassan is scheduled to present Malaysia's position in two key BRICS sessions
00:43covering issues related to multilateralism, energy security, global supply chains and the interests of the global south.
00:54And according to Malaysia's High Commissioner to India, Dato' Muzaffar Shah Mustafa, BRICS provides a platform for members and partner
01:04countries
01:05to seek common approaches in addressing global concerns such as global economic disruptions, including issues involving energy and geopolitical stability.
01:16Let's listen to what he had to say.
01:19We want to promote more inclusive and more sustainable resilience in terms of the supply chain.
01:28I think this is also important roles by BRICS members who are, you can see, I mean, also a major
01:35player in the global affairs.
01:39So I believe this would also give some direction into how we want to address this kind of disruption.
01:48I mean, it can affect, I mean, global economy and also geopolitical situation as a whole.
01:57This will be a very good platform for all the member, BRICS members and also partner countries to see how
02:05we can address this issue.
02:07Of course, I think as we know, BRICS is not a permanent organisation that can affect, I mean, can influence,
02:21for example, like the UN decision.
02:24But, of course, I think any understanding at the BRICS level would also, I think, would give a future direction
02:34in terms of how we want to address this global issues such as the Middle East conflict.
02:40Alright, that was Malaysia's High Commission to India, Datuk Muzaffar Shah Mustafa, on the significance of the BRICS bloc amid
02:50growing geopolitical uncertainty.
02:53Now, on the sidelines of the meetings that will begin tomorrow, Malaysia is also expected to hold diplomatic ties or
03:01bilateral meetings with several countries as Foreign Minister Datuk Sri Muhammad Hassan is scheduled to hold bilateral meetings with counterparts
03:10from Cuba, Russia and host nation India as well
03:15to discuss matters of mutual interest and to strengthen strategic cooperation between the two countries.
03:22Now, we will continue to bring you the latest from New Delhi on the 2026 BRICS Foreign Minister's meeting across
