NEW DELHI, April 30, 2026 — As the world looks toward shifting economic tides, the BRICS Culture Media Forum (BCMF) has issued a clarion call for a new kind of global architecture—one built not on transactional currency, but on the enduring capital of human connection.
At the BRICS International Investment Forum 2026 (BIIF 2026) held at Le Méridien New Delhi, global leaders, industry titans, and diplomats gathered under a transformative banner: “Strategic Dialogue Bridging East and West for Peace, Policy & Prosperity.”

It’s not the investment in the form of currencies, but investment in the form of love and how much you’re going to invest. When we invest in the human spirit, the dividends are peace and a shared future for our children.”

Mr Rajiv Kumar former Vice Chairman of Niti Ayog further expanded on this, stating that the future economy must embrace “new possibilities” where innovation serves humanity rather than just the bottom line.
