BANGKOK (Sputnik) - Thai Foreign Minister Sihasak Phuangketkeow has asked Indian Foreign Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar for help in upgrading Thailand's partner status within BRICS to a full membership, the Thai Foreign Ministry said on Tuesday.
"The Foreign Minister requested India's support for Thailand's interest in joining BRICS during India's Chairmanship of BRICS in 2026," the ministry said in a statement.
The diplomats discussed foreign policy issues in the context of current geopolitical challenges and exchanged views on political issues, in particular on joint efforts to counter emerging threats, including online fraud and assistance to victims of online fraud in India, the ministry added.

"In this regard, Thailand extended an invitation for India to join the International Conference on Global Partnerships to Combat Online Scams, and its interest in co-hosting the event, during 17-18 December 2025 in Bangkok, to further discuss international cooperation in this issue," the statement said.
