External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj on Thursday called for a united global fight against terrorism saying that countries sponsoring and harbouring terrorists should be made to pay the price. <br/><br/>In her address to BRICS Youth Summit, Mrs Swaraj said the fight should be carried out without any distinction being made between good and bad terrorists. <br/><br/>She said, BRICS is shaping the global discourse significantly to deal with a range of challenges like climate change, poverty alleviation and corruption and it must also work to eliminate terrorism. She also stressed the need to work together for early reforms of the UN Security Council, so that the body continues to be relevant to the needs of the 21st century.<br/><br/>Noting that building responsive, inclusive and collective solutions would be core to India's BRICS chairmanship, she said in its short journey, the bloc has left an indelible mark on the global economic and financial architecture. She said, the establishment of New Development Bank and Contingency Reserve Arrangement have been landmark achievements. <br/><br/>The Minister said, all five BRICS countries have rich resources in terms of youth and they combined with economic vibrancy, can be an asset in consolidating exchanges between the people.
