US Strengthens Ties Amid Global Diplomatic Shifts

The US emphasizes its strong bilateral relationships with India, Brazil, and South Africa while engaging in global diplomacy. Amid the BRICS Summit, the US focuses on partnerships and the responsible management of competition with China. Expansion of BRICS, including new members, marks notable geopolitical dynamics.

In a recent media briefing, Vedant Patel, the US State Department Principal Deputy Spokesperson, highlighted America's commitment to maintaining robust bilateral relationships with India, Brazil, and South Africa. US diplomacy aims to responsibly manage its competitions, particularly with China, while safeguarding its interests on the global stage.

Addressing inquiries about the ongoing BRICS Summit and the inclusion of new members, Patel emphasized that the US respects all nations' sovereign decisions in choosing their affiliations. The US is keen on forging expansive, deep coalitions worldwide to pursue shared global objectives, utilizing platforms like the UN, G20, APEC, and ASEAN.

As BRICS expands with new entrants such as Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE, the US State Department remains focused on deepening collaboration with current BRICS nations. It also vows to counter Russian aggression and ensure global stability through partnerships and decisive diplomacy.
