00:00In this context, Prime Minister Narendra Modi highlighted his country's commitment to an agenda
00:04focused on cooperation, innovation, and sustainable development.
00:09Your Highness, Excellencies, Namaskar.
00:15I welcome you all to India for the BRICS Summit.
00:18The session is now officially called to order.
00:21Your Highness, Excellencies, Namaskar.
00:24I am extremely delighted to welcome and greet you all to India.
00:27India's BRICS Presidency is based on a people-centric and humanity-first approach.
00:34Resilient innovation, cooperation, and sustainability have been our priorities.
00:39Along with these priorities, we have laid special emphasis on connecting BRICS cooperation with the common people.
00:46With this vision, more than 350 meetings were organized.
00:50We had the opportunity to welcome your teams across nearly 30 cities.
00:54I express my heartfelt gratitude to all of you for your active contribution and support
01:00in making India's BRICS Presidency a success.
01:08For his part, Russia and President Obama and Putin stress the relevance of discussing issues
01:13related to inclusion in global governance and the strengthening of multilateralism.
01:22The theme proposed by the Indian chairmanship for today's meeting is relevant.
01:26Inclusive global governance and strengthening multilateralism.
01:32Indeed, in the conditions of an emerging multipolar world order,
01:38it is more important than ever to work together to strengthen genuine multilateralism
01:43and involve a greater number of countries in global governance mechanisms.
01:49And during his address, Iranian President Mesut Peshezkian called for the protection
01:54of peaceful nuclear facilities and for member countries to take an active role
01:58in defending the Palestinian struggle.
02:07Within BRICS, we must stand against the normalization of attacks on civilian and critical infrastructure.
02:14The same principle applies to peaceful nuclear facilities.
02:18These facilities must be protected from attack and the threat of attack,
02:22because putting them at risk is not merely an issue confined to one country,
02:26rather, it constitutes a threat to international peace and security.
02:31Ladies and gentlemen, the issue of Palestine is also another test of the credibility of global governance.
02:38The Palestinian people have the right to self-determination and to live in security,
02:43and no just solution can be achieved without respecting their will.
02:48BRICS must be a voice for justice and play a more active role in ending the occupation
02:53and guaranteeing the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people.
02:57The Palestinian people have the right to self-determination and guaranteeing the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people.
