The BRICS Culture Ministers’ Meeting serves as a crucial platform for fostering mutual understanding, cultural exchange, and collaborative projects among the member countries: Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa. This year’s meeting will focus on strengthening cultural cooperation, enhancing institutional collaboration, and developing joint initiatives aimed at preserving and promoting the rich cultural diversity of the BRICS nations.
During the discussions, Minister Shri Gajendra Singh Shekhawat is expected to emphasise India’s strong commitment to cultural diplomacy, heritage conservation, and people-to-people exchanges. He will also showcase India’s unique contributions to the global cultural landscape, including recent initiatives.
The meeting will provide India with opportunities to explore new avenues of cooperation in areas such as performing arts, visual arts, literature, heritage conservation, and creative industries. India will advocate for increased multilateral collaboration and inclusive cultural growth within the BRICS framework.
In addition to formal ministerial discussions, the Indian delegation is expected to engage in bilateral meetings with counterparts from the BRICS nations to discuss cultural partnerships, exchange programs, and collaborative festivals.
India remains dedicated to working closely with its BRICS partners to build resilient cultural frameworks, encourage intercultural dialogue, and contribute to a more inclusive and harmonious global order.
