Brazil is set to take the chairmanship of BRICS in 2025, positioning the bloc for a pivotal moment on the global stage.
Minister of Foreign Affairs Mauro Vieira has outlined plans for high-level ministerial and head-of-state meetings to enhance BRICS’ role in international decision-making.
Formed in 2006 by Brazil, Russia, India, and China, BRICS expanded to include South Africa in 2011, with Egypt, Iran, the UAE, and Ethiopia joining recently.
With growing global attention, BRICS is emerging as a collective force addressing global challenges. Vieira emphasized its significance, likening it to the G20 in influence. Brazil plans to leverage its 2025 chairmanship to promote inclusivity, mutual respect, and equal development within the bloc while solidifying its presence as a key player in shaping global policies.
