The BRICS leaders have accepted the report titled "Towards a Long Term Strategy for BRICS", the recommendations made by the BRICS Think Tanks Council (BTTC). Observer Research Foundation is the Indian representative at the BTTC. The Recommendations were made after the BTTC met in Rio de Janeiro Brazil earlier in March this year and then submitted before the leaders of the BRICS who met at Fortaleza in Brazil recently. The Recommendations report was signed by five representatives of think tanks from ORF (India), Institute for Applied Economic Research (Brazil), National Committee for BRICS Research (Russia), China Centre for Contemporary World Studies (China) and Human Sciences Research Council (South Africa). ORF was represented by Amb. HHS Viswanathan, Distinguished Fellow, and Mr Samir Saran, Vice President.

The BRICS leaders acknowledged the decision by the BTTC to focus their efforts on the five pillars on which the BRICS long term strategy for cooperation will be built upon. The five focus areas include (i) promoting economic cooperation for economic growth and development, (ii) peace and security, (iii) social justice, sustainable development and quality of life, (iv) political and economic governance and (v) progress through knowledge and innovation sharing. The initial document, submitted by the BTTC, is available here for dissemination and feedbacks.
