Your Excellency Mr. Narendra Modi,
The Prime Minister of the Republic of India
Your Excellencies, Heads of State and Government,
Distinguished Guests,
At the outset, I would like to emphasize the importance of our meeting today, which offers us an opportunity to exchange views on ways to enhance joint action and translate it into practical and operational tools that address the developmental and economic challenges facing our nations—at a time when the world is witnessing interconnected crises whose repercussions extend to security, energy, trade, and supply chains.
In this context, the BRICS group acquires special importance as a framework uniting key nations of the Global South, capable of playing a greater role in promoting South-South cooperation to confront current challenges.
On this occasion, I express Egypt's appreciation for the tireless efforts exerted by India's presidency of the BRICS group to translate the presidency's priorities into concrete projects and practical activities across various tracks of cooperation.
Your Excellencies,
The ongoing developments in the Middle East, and their negative impacts on the global economy, trade flows, energy, and supply chains, underscore the close link between security and development.
Egypt—by virtue of its strategic position and pivotal role in global trade—is fully aware of the importance of safeguarding the stability and freedom of international navigation.
Accordingly, we must continue to build upon the achievements made within the BRICS framework and leverage the capabilities of our nations to establish specific projects and programs that support the Sustainable Development Goals, diversify sources of growth, enhance productivity, and bridge developmental and technological gaps.
In this framework, and in light of the growing challenges posed by debt and constrained fiscal space, Egypt appreciates the efforts witnessed under the BRICS economic and financial cooperation agenda to reform the international financial architecture and develop innovative, concessional financing instruments—as well as consolidating the role of the New Development Bank and adopting its strategy for the 2027–2031 period.
We hope that all these efforts will contribute to enhancing the responsiveness to the financing needs of member states.
Heads of State and Government,
Enhancing food, water, and energy security acquires special importance in light of the rising food and energy costs and supply chain disruptions faced by developing nations—underscoring the importance of adopting an integrated approach that takes into account their close interconnection.
In this context, we appreciate the significant progress in the agriculture and environment cooperation track in the areas of food security, sustainable agriculture, and sustainable water resources management.
I would like to point out in this regard that Egypt continues to work toward developing a grain and logistics hub to support food security and bolster its position as a regional hub for trade and logistics.
In parallel, we emphasize the importance of strengthening cooperation in the field of climate change, facilitating developing countries' access to climate finance, and supporting a just and realistic transition toward low-emission economies, while considering differing circumstances, burdens, and developmental needs.
Your Excellencies,
Egypt views BRICS as a promising opportunity and an effective framework for building practical partnerships and developing a more balanced international economic system that is better able to meet the aspirations of our nations and peoples.
Egypt reaffirms its readiness to continue contributing constructively by supporting joint projects, strengthening partnerships, and leveraging Egypt’s strategic location to support trade and investment and to connect Africa, Europe, and Asia.
As we look forward to the upcoming Chinese presidency of the BRICS group, we aim to build upon the progress achieved by the Indian presidency, continue advancing the group’s agenda, and further strengthen partnerships among its member states.
In conclusion, I affirm that Egypt looks forward to assuming the presidency of the BRICS group in the near future, along with its commitment to continue working closely with member states to advance cooperation across all fields and translate our capabilities and potential into tangible partnerships that support development and achieve mutual interests, toward building a more prosperous future for our peoples.
Thank you.
