If any country supports terrorism directly or indirectly, it will have to pay the price for it. We must speak out as a group, in one voice, against terrorism and its supporters. Condemnation of terrorism must be our 'principle', not a mere 'convenience'.
"We reiterate that terrorism should not be associated with any religion, nationality, civilisation or ethnic group and that all those involved in terrorist activities and their support must be held accountable and brought to justice in accordance with relevant national and international law. We urge to ensure zero tolerance for terrorism and reject double standards in countering terrorism..."

The Brics summit in Rio is set to address global concerns, with the declaration expected to reflect India's stance on terrorism while urging a stronger position on US tariffs and Israel's actions in Gaza. Negotiations are ongoing, with proposals including condemnation of US tariffs and concerns about the situation in Palestinian territory, potentially posing challenges for India's diplomatic balancing act.
