India welcomes the Memorandum of Understanding reached between US and Iran, said Indian National Security Advisor (NSA) Ajit Doval on Tuesday."It will remove supply chain bottlenecks and many of the shortages in the field of say, fertilisers and chemicals.. And the freedom of navigation that will be available to the countries in the region and beyond will probably also greatly improve our economic prosperity," Doval emphasised."It is facing geopolitical uncertainties, economic strains, and disruptive technology. Not only that the threats are compounding, but the instruments and institutional mechanisms are increasingly finding themselves to be inadequate to resolve or mitigate these conflicts," Doval told his BRICS counterparts."BRICS was conceived as an informal grouping of emerging economies to a more multipolar world order. It was to advance economic cooperation and strengthen the voice of the Global South. It also envisioned reforms in global governance and institutional improvements," he stated.Describing BRICS as a "very special coalition of countries" believing in peace, progress, development and cooperation, Doval expressed pleasure at the growing global stature of the 11-nation groupingDwelling on the theme of the meeting, Doval remarked that "non-traditional threats" have transcended national borders and have "developed defeat systems against conventional responses".Doval said that the meeting would also discuss the outcomes of the two BRICS joint working groups on counter-terrorism and on the security in the use of information and communication technologies.

Opening of Strait of Hormuz is Very Welcome Development: NSA Doval at BRICS NSA Meeting
The meeting of top security officials from BRICS nations in Delhi was chaired by Indian NSA Ajit Doval and attended by Sergei Shoigu, Secretary of Russia's Security Council, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi, Ghadir Nizami and Deputy Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council among others.
India welcomes the Memorandum of Understanding reached between US and Iran, said Indian National Security Advisor (NSA) Ajit Doval on Tuesday.
"We have got cautious optimism, and we hope that it will work. It will help energy security," Doval told the BRICS NSA-level meeting in Delhi, being held under the theme of 'Non-Traditional Security Challenges Confronting the World Today’.
Doval also underscored that the opening of the Strait of Hormuz was a "very welcome development".
"It will remove supply chain bottlenecks and many of the shortages in the field of say, fertilisers and chemicals.. And the
freedom of navigation that will be available to the countries in the region and beyond will probably also greatly improve our economic prosperity," Doval emphasised.
The Indian NSA noted that the BRICS meeting was taking place at a "very tumultuous time" amid military conflicts and complex security problems.
"It is facing geopolitical uncertainties, economic strains, and disruptive technology. Not only that the threats are compounding, but the instruments and institutional mechanisms are increasingly finding themselves to be inadequate to resolve or mitigate these conflicts," Doval told his BRICS counterparts.
"BRICS was conceived as an informal grouping of emerging economies to a more multipolar world order. It was to advance economic cooperation and strengthen the voice of the Global South. It also envisioned reforms in global governance and institutional improvements," he stated.
Describing BRICS as a "very special coalition of countries" believing in peace, progress, development and cooperation, Doval expressed pleasure at the growing global stature of the 11-nation grouping
"We have got a very special role to play in this world, which appears to be in turmoil, a world which appears to be changing, a world in which the instruments of conflict resolutions are probably getting blunted. What role we as a grouping can play is a matter that is important for us to ponder," he said.
Dwelling on the
theme of the meeting, Doval remarked that "non-traditional threats" have transcended national borders and have "developed defeat systems against conventional responses".
"Innovative disruptive technologies, more camouflaged variants of terrorism, cyber threats, in a world are getting increasingly digitised. They all constitute an important threat for us. Today, we will be navigating some of these non-traditional security challenges in our collective deliberations here," the NSA said.
Doval said that the meeting would also discuss the outcomes of the two BRICS joint working groups on counter-terrorism and on the security in the use of information and communication technologies.
