State Department spokesperson Arindam Bagchi clarified that they have previously expressed their position and that BRICS members are currently discussing the principles, standards, criteria and procedures for expansion. He stressed that India is approaching this matter with an open mind and a positive attitude.
Bagchi rejected the previous Bloomberg report that said India would resist admitting new members due to concerns over China's influence, calling it "baseless speculation" and "simply untrue"!
