New members in BRICS.

India takes lead in forging consensus on adding new members to BRICS. It had forged a consensus on membership criteria and selection of new members.

Saudi Arabia, Iran and UAE are strategic partners of most member states. The new members are Saudi Arabia, Iran, UAE, Egypt, Argentina and Ethiopia out of the 22 countries wanting to join the grouping. There has been a wholehearted and overwhelming support among the leaders of the member countries towards Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership.  

The leaders were in a celebratory mood regarding the spectacular success of India's Chandrayaan-3, Moon mission.

China's bid to bring in Pakistan as a member was stopped short by India. An economically rag tag country and which uses terrorism as state policy definitely has no place in any groupings.

My take

Prime Minister Narendra Modi's dynamic relationship and his appeal for 'Vasudeiva Kutumbakam' approach in relationships between countries has been widely accepted as statesmanlike. The 'vaccine policy' of India had cemented this observation.


Tailpiece.

Got up at a 10' to 6, the chores and was ready by 10.

Drove down to the Rajah petrol pump nearby to fuel the Chevy and check tyre pressure.

Aswathi, our maid, had come by to collect her onakkodi around teatime. So, our Onam has begun nay it began yesterday when Selvam, the dhobhi, was given his 'kaineettam'.
