The most important thing we need to do in the BRICS context is to figure out a strategy for human capital.
Shiv Vikram Khemka
I think BRICS can play a very important role in the coming decades, if we are able to coordinate and work together in an organized way, creating growth on the planet, helping to create jobs, food security, and other kinds of security, as well as geopolitical security.
