Brazil is taking the lead in reshaping global dynamics by hosting the inaugural BRICS Sherpas meeting under its rotating presidency. 🇧🇷✨
On Tuesday, Brazilian Foreign Affairs Minister Mauro Vieira kicked off the two-day event at the Itamaraty Palace in Brasilia, emphasizing the need for stronger and more inclusive multilateralism. \"BRICS plays a fundamental role in promoting a more just, inclusive and sustainable world order,\" Vieira stated in his opening speech.
This milestone meeting marks the first gathering of BRICS chief negotiators since the bloc expanded last year to welcome new members like Saudi Arabia, Egypt, UAE, Ethiopia, Iran, and Indonesia. 🚀 The addition aims to amplify the voices of the Global South in international decision-making.
Over the next two days, delegates will dive into key discussions focused on redefining global governance for the 21st century. Bolsonaro highlighted the threat of rising protectionism and the need for an open, fair, and balanced multilateral trade system that addresses the needs of emerging economies.
The agenda also includes advancing alternative financial mechanisms, such as the New BRICS Development Bank, which is crucial for funding infrastructure and sustainable projects across member nations. 💡💰
As BRICS president, Brazil is prioritizing collaboration with the Global South and setting a roadmap that includes health, trade, climate change, artificial intelligence, security system reforms, and strengthening the bloc's institutions.
On Wednesday, the meeting will feature a special session with Brazil's President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, followed by a summary of the day’s discussions. This landmark event underscores BRICS' commitment to building a multipolar world where developing countries are key players, not just spectators.
