China Must Open Its Market To BRICS Countries: Ex-G20 Sherpa Amitabh Kant To NDTV
· World · NDTV, News18
Former G20 Sherpa Amitabh Kant has urged China to open its markets to BRICS countries, arguing that economic integration is critical for the bloc’s growth and global influence. Kant highlighted China’s role as a major trading partner and its potential to drive BRICS economies forward, though he did not specify the exact measures China should adopt. The call comes amid ongoing discussions within BRICS about expanding membership and deepening economic cooperation. No immediate response from China has been reported. The push aligns with broader efforts to reduce reliance on Western financial systems and strengthen trade ties among emerging economies.

The move also signals growing BRICS assertiveness in global trade dynamics.
