PM Modi proposes linking UPI with payment systems of BIMSTEC countries
He said he was happy to share India's experience in setting up digital public infrastructure (DPI) with BIMSTEC countries.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi will visit Russia from 22-23 October at the invitation of Russian President Vladimir Putin to attend the 16th BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China & South Africa) Summit, being held in Kazan. The summit, themed “Strengthening Multilateralism for Just Global Development and Security,” will provide an important platform for leaders to discuss key global issues, the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) said while announcing the visit here on Friday.
The summit will offer a valuable opportunity to assess the progress of initiatives launched by BRICS and to identify potential areas for future collaboration. During his visit, the PM is also expected to hold bilateral meetings with his counterparts from BRICS member countries and invited leaders in Kazan, the MEA added. It is, however, not clear if Mr Modi will also hold bilateral talks with Chinese President Xi Jinping who will lead the Chinese delegation at the summit.
