“In these circumstances, BRICS, acting on the basis of such principles as equality, non-alignment, taking into account interests of all parties, respect for sovereignty and the right to one's own path of development, acts as an prestigious and dynamic association of multilateral cooperation and partnership ties”.

“It is big time to reform global governance institutions and expand responsible dialogue in the South-South and North-South formats.”
