"Terrorism is the biggest problem facing the world today. We have to ensure that the countries that support the terrorists are held accountable and this problem is tackled in an organized manner," said Modi.

"In 2021, BRICS will complete 15 years. Our 'sherpas' can make a report to evaluate the various decisions taken by us in the past years," Modi further said.

He also said that the there is need for reforms of UN Security Council and organisations like IMF, WTO. "A self-reliant and resilient India post-COVID can be a force multiplier for global economy," he further said.

India's vaccine production and delivery capacity will also work in interest of humanity to tackle Covid-19 crisis, said Modi.
