At a dynamic meeting in Rio de Janeiro on April 28-29, BRICS foreign ministers delivered a powerful chair's statement emphasizing a fair, open, and predictable multilateral trading system. The statement underlined the importance of adhering to WTO rules while pushing back against protectionist practices that disrupt the principles of fairness and reciprocity.
The ministers stressed that international trade is more than just numbers—it’s a key engine for inclusive growth, reducing hunger and poverty, and promoting sustainable development across the Global South. Their call for necessary WTO reform and a united stand against rising unilateral actions resonates in today’s rapidly changing global landscape.
This renewed commitment signals a shared vision of equality and mutual respect in international trade. As young professionals, students, and enthusiastic global citizens, it’s an inspiring reminder that fair trade and multilateral cooperation build a brighter future for all. 🌍✨
