The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi spoke about the G20 Anti-Corruption Ministerial Meet held in Kolkata through video message.

Addressing the gathering, the Prime Minister welcomed notables to the city of Nobel Laureate Gurudev Rabindranath Tagore, Kolkata and stated that this is the first-ever G20 Anti-Corruption Ministerial Meet taking place physically. Referring to the writings of Tagore, the Prime Minister cautioned against greed as it prevents us from realizing the truth. He also touched upon the ancient Indian Upanishads that strive for ‘Ma Gridha’, which translates to ‘let there be no greed’.

The Prime Minister highlighted that the maximum impact of corruption is borne by the poor and the banished. He further added that it affects resource utilization, distorts markets, impacts service delivery and ultimately diminishes people’s quality of life. Referring to Kautilya in the Arthashastra, the Prime Minister said that it is the government’s duty to enhance the State’s resources to maximize the welfare of its people. He emphasized the need to fight corruption to achieve this goal and said that it is the sacred duty of the government towards its people.

“India has a strict policy of Zero Tolerance against corruption”, the Prime Minister remarked as he accentuated that India is leveraging technology and e-governance to create a transparent and accountable ecosystem. He mentioned that leakages and gaps in welfare schemes and government projects are being plugged in. As a result, the Prime Minister said, hundreds of million people in India have received direct benefit transfers into their bank accounts amounting to more than 360 billion dollars and helping save over 33 billion dollars. The Prime Minister informed that the government has simplified various procedures for businesses and gave the example of automation and digitization of government services that have eliminated rent-seeking opportunities. “Our Government e-Marketplace, or GEM portal, has brought greater transparency in government procurement”, he added. Speaking about the enactment of the Economic Offenders Act in 2018, the Prime Minister said that the government is aggressively pursuing economic offenders and informed about the recovery of assets worth over 1.8 billion dollars from economic offenders and fugitives. He also mentioned the Prevention of Money Laundering Act which has helped attach the assets of offenders worth more than 12 billion dollars since 2014.

The Prime Minister recalled speaking on the challenges of fugitive economic offenders for all G20 countries and the Global South in his very first G-20 Summit in 2014. He also mentioned presenting a nine-point agenda for action against Fugitive Economic Offenders and Asset Recovery at the G-20 Summit in 2018 and expressed happiness that decisive steps are being taken by the working group. The Prime Minister welcomed the action-oriented High-Level Principles on three priority areas, namely, law enforcement cooperation through information sharing, strengthening asset recovery mechanisms, and enhancing the integrity and effectiveness of anti-corruption authorities. He expressed delight that an understanding has been reached on informal cooperation between law enforcement agencies which will prevent criminals from exploiting legal loopholes when crossing borders. Highlighting the importance of timely asset tracing and identification of proceeds of crime, the Prime Minister stressed the need to encourage countries to enhance their domestic asset recovery mechanisms. Shri Modi suggested that G20 countries can set an example by using non-conviction-based confiscations to expedite the recovery of foreign assets and said that it will ensure swift return and extradition of criminals after the due judicial process. “It will send a strong signal about our joint fight against corruption”, he emphasized.

The Prime Minister asserted that the collective efforts of G20 nations can significantly support the fight against corruption and a huge difference can be made through enhanced international cooperation and implementation of robust measures that address the root causes of corruption. Shri Modi also highlighted the role of audit institutions in the fight against corruption. Concluding the address, the Prime Minister urged the dignitaries to foster a culture of ethics and integrity in the value systems along with strengthening our administrative and legal systems. “Only by doing so, can we lay the foundation for a just and sustainable society? I wish you all a productive and successful meeting”, the PM concluded.

Instable Foundations for the BRICS Expansion Drive

by theparliamentnews.com 10 August 2023

written by theparliamentnews.com

The 15th summit of the BRICS group (composed of Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa), will take place in Johannesburg, South Africa, from August 22- 24 2023. It can be seen as one of the most important meetings of the group so far, as well as a sign of stopgap in the midst of a complex and excited transnational script. Indeed so, one cannot rule out the fact that the current fermentation in transnational politics has direct consequences for all the countries in the group, which are expressed in varied ways of intra- andextra-BRICS competition.

In addition to the growing contest between China and India over border controversies and a military standoff on the so- called Line of factual Control, as well as India’s enterprises about China’s protuberance in its immediate surroundings, the BRICS are also dealing with the consequences and profitable impacts of the Russian irruption of Ukraine. The Russian chairman won’t be suitable to attend the summit of the group for the first time, due to the possibility of being arrested since South Africa is party to the International Criminal Court. The ICC has issued a leave for President Vladimir Putin’s arrest, due to allegations of war crimes in Ukraine.

BRICS’ profitable arm, the New Development Bank (NDB), is also facing complications from the Russia- Ukraine war. As of March 2022, Russia has had all trading within the NDB firmed, representing a total exposure of$1.8 billion to realities housed in Russia. As the NDB relies on external backing( through mechanisms similar as the allocation of debt securities on public and/ or transnational capital requests) and capital from bank members, the ongoing conflict combined with external pressure from the West and warrants to Russia have made it delicate for the NDB to seek external coffers. This is one further factor impeding internal cohesion among the BRICS.

This said, that it’s also important to note the openings in the midst of a complex transnational script. oil painting exporters to China known as the petro- yuan club – i.e. Russia, Iran, the United Arab Emirates, and Angola – are decreasingly using the Chinese currency in marketable deals. India and Indonesia have also blazoned analogous enterprise. Meanwhile, Brazil has showed signs of interest in expanding the use of a common currency in Mercosur. For the coming BRICS summit, the launch of a payment system in common currencies is anticipated.

But utmost captions have stressed the fact that BRICS is considering expanding for the first time since 2010, when South Africa joined what was also known as “ BRIC. ” Such a move would change the nature of the grouping and its part in the transnational order.

Why Expand?

The main reasons for expanding BRICS can be attributed to the intensification of the East- West battle, the deepening of “BRICS Plus” cooperation, and the demands of knot countries.

In the new environment of the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine and the intensification of China-U.S. competition, the East- West battle has come decreasingly prominent, where both sides seek to expand their networks of hook-ups. As developing countries, and to some extent indigenous powers in their geographic locales, the BRICS countries are driven, in proposition, by a strong provocation to absorb other knot countries from important strategic locales to join their field, as in the case of Argentina in relation to Brazil, just to name one.

Facing review of BRICS as an exclusive club and going beyond outreach with separate sub-regions, BRICS Plus was introduced during China’s administration in 2017 to strengthen dialogue and cooperation between BRICS countries and other developing countries and promote the establishment of broader hook-ups. Although BRICS Plus presents a platform for developing countries, enabling them to increase their representation in global governance, this expansion process is also part of China’s broader profitable and geopolitical interests.

And therein lies the irk. The current script in which the expansion of the BRICS is being bandied is one of wide divergence, which makes the content a controversial point. The five nations don’t all have analogous positions in relation to the expansion of the group.

How Can Expansion Favor China and Russia?

Wang Yi, China’s top foreign affairs functionary, has bravely declared that the Asian country is proposing procedures for a future and gradational expansion of the BRICS beyond the profitable sector, since the NDB formerly includes countries that aren’t sanctioned members of the group, similar as the UAE, Egypt and Bangladesh. Wang says China will seek the agreement of the other member countries on this point.

China is immensely important in the BRICS, as shown by its capability to bargain in opinions. By the same commemorative, the group is also pivotal for China, which seeks to secure itself as the main power in the midst of the possible reorientation of the world order presently afoot. Beijing’s ideal in defending the expansion of the BRICS would be the conformation of a coalition of countries in opposition to the G- 7 bloc and its attempts to check China’s global growth.

originally, China’s expansion intentions didn’t have the support of Russia. But in a environment of adding insulation from Western countries, which have been obliging Moscow with warrants due to the war, Russia’s dependence on China has been strengthening and, together, they’re forming ananti-Western bloc.

In the environment of pressure between the United States and Russia and a trade battle between theU.S. and China, expansion would have a strategic geopolitical element, especially in relation to the attempt to attract abettors with strategic coffers or strategic geographic positions, as well as to influence the design toward thede-dollarization of the global frugality.

What’s Left for Brazil and India?

Brazil and India, still, are reticent to expand and have a desire to maintain the group with its five members. In addition to the complicated geopolitics, with neither wanting to be seen as part of ananti-Washington grouping, there’s a more introductory computation With the entry of new members, the two countries may have their influence in the group lowered, and the BRICS would cease to be an exclusive group. There’s also the fact that both Brazil and India worry for further voice in transnational relations, including positions as endless members of the United Nations Security Council – a pursuit that has set up little support from China and Russia.

Another argument we must take into account about the expansion of the BRICS is related to the size of the group. A larger grouping can reduce political conjunctions and make it delicate for ideas to come together. For illustration, the coalition of developing countries in the United Nations, the G- 77, includes a large number of developing countries, but has a reduced degree of power.

China, which has proposed the idea of BRICS Plus since 2017, will formerly again raise this content at the 15th summit and should bring to the debate the possible criteria for expanding the group. still, this will be an docket worked on by the group over time and shouldn’t be defined at a single summit. Due to the clear resistance on the part of Brazil and India, it’s egregious that the idea of expansion doesn’t enjoy a agreement. Indeed if there was in- principle agreement on expansion, how to elect and add new members would be a complicated question.

There are other issues at stake that should be addressed at this meeting, similar asde-dollarization systems and reforms of transnational associations, as well as the bloc’s ongoing trouble to propose further decision- making positions for arising powers, especially the BRICS countries, in a transnational request decreasingly in flux. More importantly, it’s anticipated that the coming summit will formerly advertise a payment system in common currencies within the frame of the NDB. The issue of expansion shouldn’t be allowed to overshadow the progress formerly passing in other areas.

Modi govt wants to hurt China with laptop import restraint, but it’ll end up hurting India

It’s clear that the Narendra Modi government’s move last week limiting the import of laptops and other electronics is aimed at China. It could n’t be anything but — about 60 per cent of those imports come from that country. Of course, the official messaging is all about national security and creating verified and trusted supply chains for electronics. But ‘national security’ is the mainstay of countries looking to get out of international trade agreements.

With Minister of State for Electronics and IT Rajeev Chandrashekhar using the word “ trusted ” thrice and “ verified ” twice in the same sentence while justifying the import restriction, it’s absolutely clear that a message is being sent. The government wants to promote electronics importers to source their supplies from nations other than China.
