India's Leadership and Coordination within the BRICS Group
印度在金磚國家集團的領導與協調
Introduction
India is currently leading the BRICS organization, coordinating several high-level diplomatic and technical meetings before the scheduled summit in September.
印度目前正領導金磚組織，在預定於九月舉行的峰會之前，協調多場高層外交與技術會議。
Main Body
India's current leadership of BRICS has been marked by a high level of activity, with more than 80 meetings held so far. South African High Commissioner Anil Sooklal emphasized that this progress has continued despite global political instability. He asserted that the group is a vital tool for promoting the interests of the Global South and creating a fairer international system.
印度目前領導金磚國家的表現非常活躍，至今已舉行了 80 多場會議。南非高級專員 Anil Sooklal 強調，儘管全球政治局勢不穩定，但這些進展依然持續。他主張該集團是促進全球南方利益並建立更公平國際體系的重要工具。
At the same time, technical cooperation is happening through specialized working groups. For example, a five-day conference in Indore, led by Secretary Atish Chandra, is focusing on agricultural resilience. The discussions include using artificial intelligence and robotics in farming, improving supply chains, and adopting climate-friendly agricultural methods. This process aims to result in a joint agreement on June 13.
同時，專業工作組正開展技術合作。例如，由秘書 Atish Chandra 領導、在印多爾舉行的為期五天的會議，正專注於農業韌性。討論內容包括在耕作中使用人工智慧與機器人、改善供應鏈以及採用氣候友好的農業方法。此過程旨在於 6 月 13 日達成一項聯合協議。
Furthermore, the group has grown significantly over time. Originally consisting of Brazil, Russia, India, and China, it added South Africa in 2011. Recent expansions in 2024 and 2025 have included Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Indonesia. Consequently, the group now consists of eleven emerging economies working together to reform global economic governance.
此外，該集團隨時間顯著增長。最初由巴西、俄羅斯、印度和中國組成，2011 年加入了南非。2024 年與 2025 年的最新擴展則包括埃及、埃塞俄比亞、伊朗、沙烏地阿拉伯、阿拉伯聯合大公國與印尼。因此，該集團目前由 11 個新興經濟體組成，共同致力於改革全球經濟治理。
Conclusion
India continues to guide the expanded BRICS group through technical agricultural talks and strategic preparations for the upcoming September summit.
印度繼續透過技術農業對話以及為九月峰會進行策略準備，來領導擴大後的金磚集團。
