IBSA: India, Brazil, South Africa

India, Brazil, and South Africa: three major countries that play significant roles in their respective regions and have increasing international influence.

These three countries created in 2003 the dialogue-forum IBSA as an innovative south-south alliance aimed at promoting trilateral co-operation and gaining bargaining power in multilateral institutions.

In this page you'll find several documents from FRIDE about this trilateral forum, it evolution in the international context and the possibilities of cooperation with the European Union.
