Russia Seeks to Strengthen BRICS Counter-Terrorism Cooperation, Says Lavrov
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov announced that Russia is prioritizing the strengthening of cooperation within the BRICS framework to combat terrorism, extremism, corruption, and illicit drug trafficking. Speaking at the BRICS ministerial meeting in New Delhi during a session titled '20 Years of BRICS,' Lavrov emphasized the importance of joint efforts to ensure the security of information and communication technologies. He argued that such collaboration is increasingly relevant because certain countries are exploiting counter-terrorism narratives as a pretext to exert economic, political, and military pressure on governments they deem unwelcome. The statement highlights Russia's strategic focus on multilateral security initiatives within the bloc, aiming to create a unified front against what Moscow perceives as the politicization of security issues by Western powers. This move aligns with broader BRICS objectives to enhance sustainability and balanced development while resisting external interference in member states' internal affairs.
