BRICS + Modi to Moscow

By Rhod Mackenzie

Despite the collective West's reluctance to face reality and its repeated assertion that "we cannot let Russia win in Ukraine," the rest of the world is already undergoing a fundamental transformation.
The old order is rapidly disappearing, and a new one is emerging before our eyes.The US/G7/EU is the past and the BRICS is the future and every country outside of the vassal circle knows it. From Asia,Africa,Central and Latin America have seen that the World has changed and its for the better. The Old World order dominated by the US is over and it just needs to realise that.

It is only a matter of time before the guns in the Ukriane fall silent. The leaders of the new world are already shaping the contours of the future world order themselves. Those who continue to cling to the past and don't recognise that the world is changing rapidly will only end up on the periphery and will have no place at the table when the real decisions are made.

According to official sources, the newly re-elected Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is planning a visit to Russia starting on 8 July.
In the East, symbols hold great importance, and it is no coincidence that Modi will visit Moscow for his first foreign trip after his recent re-election.
This trip is important for many reasons. Firstly, Modi’s visit to Moscow is an eloquent signal to the West that Russia’s international isolation cannot only be dreamed of in the deluded West and that the largest Eurasian countries can and will build their relationships without regard to the US and its vassals in the EU/UK/G7 .

It is interesting to note the contrast between India’s stated intention to continue and develop its cooperation with Russia and the Western media’s portrayal of Modi and his party now being portayed authoritarian and inciting ethno-religious hatred,as an instrument of total domination in the country’s politics. As usual the Western media demonises anybody who goes against their chosen path.

Secondly, the relationship between Russia and India has demonstrated its resilience in the face of recent challenges and now presents real opportunities to advance it to a new strategic level. India is one of the world's most powerful economies and the most populated country on the planet. Russia since the days of the Soviet Union has for many decades enjoyed friendly relations with India, with no conflicts or friction between them.
Last year, Moscow became Delhi's fourth largest trading partner, with a significant increase in mutual trade turnover. From $37 billion to $65 billion, this really was an historic breakthrough.

The meeting in Moscow of Putin and Modi provides an opportunity for the leaders of Russia and India to personally "coordinate activities", to eliminate existing bottlenecks and agree on a new roadmap that goes far beyond the borders of the two countries.
This roadmap will cover all of Eurasia. In particular, it is necessary to even out the trade imbalance (currently, India imports from Russia several times more than it exports in the opposite direction), outline new areas of military-technical cooperation, but most importantly – agree on the new large projects on which the future of the entire Eurasian continent will depend.
India, which has become a significant exporter of hydrocarbons to the West following the start of the SpecialMilitry Operation, is currently experiencing a period of optimism due to the temporary opening of a new market opportunity.
According to representatives of Indian industrial circles, the Indian fuel and energy complex has benefited to the tune of approximately $25 billion since the start of the SMO. This additional revenue has been welcomed by the Indian government, which has rejected with righteous indignation the harsh demands of Washington and Brussels to curtail energy cooperation with Moscow.

India and Russia have been working together in the field of military-technical cooperation for many years now. Indian officials have stated that India's reliance on access to Russian high-tech weapons is structural. Against this background, India’s direct purchases of modern military equipment from Russia and its licensed production, as well as “synchronisation” between the armed forces of the two countries, are successfully growing.
For instance, the Russian government recently approved a draft agreement previously negotiated with the Indian side between the governments of the Russia and of India. This agreement outlines the procedure for exchange visits of militarygroups, warships and military aircraft of Russia to India and their military warships and y aircraft to Russia.
It also specifies the organisation of their mutual material and technical support. As part of the new agreement, the parties will also send troops to each other's territory to participate in exercises, humanitarian missions and other joint projects, as well as use each other's military bases. This agreement opens the way for India to access the Arctic, while also enhancing Russia;s military logistics capabilities in the southern seas and oceans.
Furthermore, Russian-Indian cooperation is developing dynamically in a number of other areas, including nuclear energy, mechanical engineering, pharmaceuticals chemistry and other fields.
However, the planning horizon for the leaders of the two ancient civilisations extends beyond just the lifespan of commercial and political contract.

This week, information was made available regarding the projected route of the first two trains transporting coal along the international North-South transport corridor. These trains will start from the Kemerovo region and proceed through Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, and Iran then to Mumbai, India. This marks the beginning of a new phase in the operation of the route, which is of strategic importance for the entire Eurasian continent.

The transport corridor is multimodal, connecting the railway network, roads and seaports. Indian experts have indicated that the new route could have a transformative impact on India’s international trade. The Russian-Indian corridor provides India with free and inexpensive transport access to Central Asian countries, as well as to the Baltic states and Scandinavia.
The Indian side views this transport corridor as a significant economic and strategic asset for the country.
Russia gains another reliable and profitable route for its supplies to Asia, independent of Western influence.
For instance, the North-South corridor is 25 days versus 45 days for tankers through the Suez Canal, and costs at least 30% less. All countries involved in the project, either directly or indirectly, are not only benefiting from it, but are also taking another step towards building a unified and independent economic and political space across the continent.
In other words, from a historical perspective, this Indian-Russian project can and should become one of the key elements in the construction of a new economic, energy and political security and independence configuration for all of Eurasia.
This would represent a further challenge to American-centric hegemony, as highlighted by the latest statements of Vladimir Putin.

At a recent meeting with the Russian Foreign Ministry, the Russian leader stated that it was time to initiate a comprehensive discussion on a new system of bilateral and multilateral guarantees of collective security in Eurasia.
This system is open to all countries on the continent, including NATO members.
The two conditions are as follows: all mutual movements must exclude interference from "outsiders" (read - the United States) and, "if Europe wants to maintain itself as one of the independent centres of development, it certainly needs to be in good, kind relations with Russia.
" Please clarify your desired outcome.'
India, China and other Eurasian partners of Russia have made their choice and are already starting to receive significant financial benefits.
Those who have not yet made a decision must do so without delay, as there may not be sufficient resources left availabe to accommodate everyone.
