PIONEERING YOUTH INITIATIVE

Shaping the Future of Global Cooperation

As we celebrate 25 years of the India-Russia strategic partnership, the 21st century is defined by a historic shift in global power dynamics. The influence of the Global South, driven by BRICS nations (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, and newly admitted members), is expanding rapidly in global governance, trade, technology, and diplomacy.

In this backdrop, the Global BRICS Youth Dialogue (GBYD) 2025 emerges as a pioneering initiative hosted by the BRICS International Forum under the visionary campaign "Vision for Future 2026", marking this significant milestone in India-Russia relations.

Serving as a youth-led preparatory platform ahead of India's hosting of the BRICS Summit 2026, GBYD will convene students, entrepreneurs, researchers, innovators, youth activists, diplomats, policymakers, artists, and academics.
