INDIA’s ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has confirmed its participation in the upcoming ‘BRICS political parties plus dialogue’ conclave, organised by the African National Congress in Johannesburg in South Africa on July 18-20.

The party’s national president, JP Nadda, made this announcement during a meeting with heads of missions from various countries at the party headquarters in New Delhi on Wednesday (5).

Additionally, Nadda said the BJP will host a delegation of the Awami League, the ruling party of Bangladesh; and the Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist Centre), to which Nepali prime minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal Prachanda belongs, in the near future.

Vijay Chauthaiwale, the in-charge of the party’s foreign affairs department, addressed reporters after the meeting and stated that further details regarding the developments will be announced in due course.

The gathering at the BJP headquarters included the heads of missions from 12 countries, including Bangladesh, Egypt, Germany, Greece, Guyana, Lebanon, Malaysia, Mozambique, South Korea, Suriname, Sweden and Tanzania.

This session marked the sixth interactive meeting organised by the party as part of the ‘Know BJP’ initiative, which was launched by Nadda on the party’s foundation day on April 6 last year. The initiative aims to engage with international audiences and provide insights into the BJP’s growth and strategies. So far, Nadda has interacted with a total of 68 mission heads.

During the meeting, the participants posed several queries about the BJP’s remarkable growth over the past nine years, its membership drive, utilisation of technology and expansion strategies in various states. The foreign envoys also sought the BJP president’s views on India’s regional parties.

The BJP’s active engagement in international political dialogues, such as the BRICS conclave, highlights its commitment to strengthening ties with other nations. These interactions provide an opportunity for the BJP to showcase its achievements, exchange ideas, and foster relationships with political parties from around the world.
