"Interacted with BRICS Trade Ministers and spoke about the growing trend of non-tariff barriers which deny market access, lead to economic uncertainty and raise the cost of doing the trade for developing countries especially MSMEs. Thus, a win-win mindset is needed to spur trade & promote equity," the following tweet read.
BRICS brings together five major emerging economies comprising 42 per cent of the world's population, having 23 per cent of the global GDP.
