This reminded me of an incident in which the Netherlands intercepted generic drugs en route to Brazil from India. https://www.kff.org/news-summary/india-brazil

  That's strange. Reading your comment, my first thought was WTF is the Dutch Navy doing intercepting shipments from India to Brazil. Then, I read your link and had another WTF moment: why is a shipment from India to Brazil travelling through the Netherlands and thus subject to their customs? India->Netherlands->Brazil seems like an incredibly inefficient trade route.

    Central economies gain a lot from simply being in the centre. That's why there has been an effort to promote South-South relations.
