IBSA ministers reaffirm South-South cooperation amid push for fairer global order

Brazil’s foreign minister proposed closer alignment between the IBSA Fund and the Global Alliance against Hunger and Poverty to strengthen international efforts to address hunger and poverty.

India, Brazil and South Africa have reaffirmed the role of the India-Brazil-South Africa (IBSA) Dialogue Forum as a vehicle for strengthening South-South cooperation and advancing a more representative multilateral system amid growing global geopolitical and economic challenges.

The three countries made the commitment during an IBSA Ministerial Meeting hosted by South Africa on the sidelines of the 81st United Nations General Assembly in New York on Thursday, where International Relations and Cooperation Minister Ronald Lamola chaired discussions with Brazil’s Foreign Minister, Mauro Vieira and India’s Foreign Minister, Subrahmanyam Jaishankar.
