As Narendra Modi takes the oath as Prime Minister for a third consecutive term, India's diplomatic agenda is packed with significant global events that will shape geopolitics. India's participation will be pivotal with a focus on the 'Voice of the Global South' and the 'Vishwa Bandhu' approach.
BRICS Foreign Ministers meeting
The BRICS Foreign Ministers' meeting, scheduled for June 10-11 in Nizhny Novgorod, Russia, will be India's first major diplomatic engagement. BRICS now includes Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE. India looks forward to participating under Russia's chairmanship.

Swiss Peace Summit
Scheduled for June 15-16, the Swiss Peace Summit aims to address the Russia-Ukraine conflict. While India has been invited, its participation is yet to be confirmed. The summit will focus on Ukraine's 10-point peace plan, including port security, energy security, and the return of abducted children.
US NSA Jake Sullivan's India visit
US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan will visit India to discuss US-India strategic priorities. This visit follows a congratulatory call from President Biden to PM Modi on his election victory.

Modi is now the second Indian leader, after Jawaharlal Nehru, to win three consecutive terms. The swearing-in ceremony was attended by leaders from neighbouring countries, emphasizing India's 'Neighbourhood First' policy.
