Rapid Read Ajit Doval Raises Alarm Over Military Conflicts, Cyber Threats at BRICS Summit Security Advisor Ajit Doval on Tuesday opened the 16th BRICS Security Advisers’ Meeting with a warning over growing global instability, saying traditional international institutions are increasingly failing to address emerging security challenges. Addressing senior security officials from across the expanded BRICS grouping, Doval said the world was passing through a period of intense uncertainty marked by military conflicts, economic pressures and technological disruptions. ‘We are meeting at a tumultuous time’ In his opening remarks, Doval said the international environment had become increasingly volatile and existing mechanisms were struggling to manage rising tensions. “We are meeting at a very tumultuous time," Doval said. “The world is beleaguered by military conflicts and complex security problems. It is facing geopolitical uncertainties, economic strains, and disruptive technology. Not only that the threats are compounding, but the instruments and institutional mechanisms are increasingly finding themselves to be inadequate to resolve or mitigate these conflicts.
Multilateralism is on the decline," he said. His remarks came as security officials from BRICS nations gathered to discuss global and regional challenges amid shifting geopolitical realities. BRICS has a special role, says Doval Doval highlighted the diverse nature of the grouping, noting that member countries come from different regions and bring varied experiences to the table. “We are here from different continents, from different areas, and it’s a grouping where we bring with us very diverse experiences," he said. According to Doval, the changing nature of global affairs gives BRICS an important responsibility in shaping responses to emerging challenges. “We have got a very special role to play in this world, which appears to be in turmoil, a world which appears to be changing, a world in which the instruments of conflict resolutions are probably getting blunted. What role we as a grouping can play is a matter that is important for us to ponder," he added. The Security Advisor also recalled the original purpose behind the formation of BRICS. He said the grouping was conceived as an informal platform of emerging economies aimed at promoting a more multipolar world order, strengthening economic cooperation and enhancing the voice of the Global South through reforms in global governance.
