"We have started a comprehensive reform process under the 'Atmanirbhar Bharat' (Self-reliant India) campaign. This campaign is based on the belief that a self-reliant and resilient India post-COVID can be a force multiplier for the global economy and make a strong contribution to the global value chains," said PM Modi.

"We also saw an example during COVID-19, when we were able to deliver essential medicines to more than 150 countries due to the capability of the Indian pharma industry. Our vaccine production and delivery capacity will also work in the interest of humanity like this," he added.

The 12th edition of the BRICS Summit hosted by Russia, under the theme of 'Global Stability, Shared Security and Innovative Growth', was held virtually today.

The summit was held in the backdrop of the 75th anniversary of the United Nations and in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. (ANI)
