She announced a Board of Inquiry to determine if the instruction was misrepresented or ignored.

    This story makes the point that there’s little appetite within BRICS (or BRICS+) for it to be a security alliance. Exercise ‘Will For Peace’ is no more a BRICS exercise than IBSAMAR, the biennial naval exercise South Africa has with India &amp;amp; Brazil, is. https://www.scmp.com/week-asia/politics/article/3340195/will-peace-drills-brics-tests-waters-military-cooperation
