The Indian government’s policy of doing diplomacy according to its national interests without being in any group will gain more momentum. In this sequence, PM Narendra Modi will participate in the top level meeting of the Quad, an organization of Australia, America, Japan and India, on September 21, 2024 next week.
This meeting will be held in America this time in which apart from PM Modi, President Joe Biden, Australian PM Anthony Albanese and Japanese PM Kishida Fumio will participate. Whereas, just a few weeks after returning from America, on October 21, 2024, PM Modi will attend the summit of the BRICS organization along with leaders like Chinese President Xi Jinping, Russian President Vladimir Putin.
At a time when on the one hand the Western countries led by America are continuously strengthening their front against Russia and China regarding Ukraine and the Indo-Pacific region, then India will also hold discussions with them in an important organization and will play an important role in deciding the future policy of BRICS with Russia-China.
