BRICS group (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa) should collaborate in the effort to list terrorists and their proxies under the UN counter-terrorism sanctions regime. However, NSA emphasized the importance of conducting this process without any involvement of politics or biased standards.

During the meeting of the National Security Advisors of BRICS nations, held on Tuesday, Ajit Doval made the remarks. China was represented by Wang Yi, who had been recently reappointed as the country's foreign minister after his predecessor Qin Gang was removed from his position. Wang had previously served as China's foreign minister from 2013 to 2022 and currently holds the position of director of the foreign affairs department of the ruling Communist Party of China, making him the top diplomat for China.
Ajit Doval pointed out that China, a steadfast ally of Pakistan, has consistently obstructed attempts at the United Nations Security Council to designate groups like Lashkar-e-Taiba and other Pakistan-based operatives as international terrorists. Doval said that the BRICS countries could find common ground in addressing counter-terrorism measures and work together towards this goal.
