Jaishankar holds talks with Singapore, Brazil counterparts in Johannesburg
External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on Thursday met his counterparts from Singapore, Brazil and Ethiopia and discussed with them global developments and ways to enhance bilateral ties.
Jaishankar is in Johannesburg on a two-day visit to South Africa to participate in the G20 Foreign Ministers’ meeting.
He met Singapore Foreign Minister Vivian Balakrishnan and Brazilian counterpart Mauro Vieira on the margins of the meet.
“Always a good conversation with FM @VivianBala of Singapore, this time in Johannesburg on the sidelines of G20 FMM. Discussed the state of the world and our work in furthering bilateral ties,” Jaishankar posted on X.
He said he and Vieira of Brazil discussed bilateral ties, global developments and their work in the G20 and Brazil’s BRICS Presidency.
The Brazilian Government announced last week that the next BRICS summit will take place in Rio de Janeiro on July 6-7.
Jaishankar also met with his Ethiopian counterpart Gedion Timotheos and congratulated him on his appointment. The two leaders agreed to work together to strengthen longstanding bilateral partnership.
He also interacted with several other world leaders, including Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi and Saudi Foreign Minister Faisal bin Farhan.
