The strengthening of the BRICS was the result of the fact that most countries in the world are tired of the dictates of the West, which seeks to impose their own neocolonial vision on them, stated the Russian ambassador to Brazil, Alexey Labetsky.
“The BRICS group has become an association that not only has political, but also economic and national interest, since the majority of the population and countries of the world are tired of the Western neocolonial dictatorship.” — noted the diplomat in an interview with the local television channel SBT Brasil, cited by TASS.
According to Labetsky, Western countries are trying to divide the association, but the BRICS maintain its stability and consensus among its members.
“The BRICS have no intention of opposing anyone; “The only objective of the association is to create conditions for the sustainable development of its countries and people,” said the head of the Russian diplomatic mission. “We are not against the Europeans or the Americans: it is the Americans and the Europeans who do not like structures where they cannot dictate their conditions.”
Let us remember that the BRICS group was founded in 2006; In 2011, South Africa joined the original composition (Brazil, Russia, India and China). Egypt, Iran, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia and Ethiopia became full members of BRICS on January 1, 2024. The association is not a bloc and is not directed against third parties.
On January 1, 2024, the BRICS presidency passed to Russia. It will last until the end of the year and includes more than 200 events that have a wide range of topics. The main event during the Russian presidency will be the BRICS summit, which will be held in Kazan in October.
