Collaborating in various fields after expansion, BRICS members remain dedicated to coping with U.S. hegemony and sanctions, as well as reducing trade and investment barriers and accomplishing common development. The group’s influence is on the rise.

BRICS represents a major shift in how Global South states are approaching their international agenda, and the latest summit in Russia - amid conflict in Ukraine and changing winds in America - is an opportunity for member nations to play the part of a leader among their peers.

Improved bilateral relations will empower the organization, strengthen South-South cooperation and promote multipolarity in international relations. It will also enhance the status of BRICS as a platform to address sensitive issues through diplomacy.

The recent meeting between Chinese President Xi Jinping and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the BRICS summit highlights a crucial shift toward economic growth and rebuilding their relationship amid ongoing competition and territorial disputes. Ultimately, it’s imperative the two countries find ways to bolster trust, facilitate communication, and identify common ground moving forward.

The recent BRICS summit marked a significant shift toward anti-Western rhetoric and ambitions, as the group's expansion and evolving agenda reflect a desire to reshape the global order. With China emerging as a central player and Vladimir Putin's alignment with its goals, Western nations must not only monitor these developments but also craft more compelling alternatives for Global South countries to counterbalance the group.

These issues cannot be sidestepped. With the international order standing at a critical crossroads, the international community is closely watching how a “Greater BRICS” could become a new center of global governance, decision-making and discourse.

The main object is to forge a BRICS bloc that is both big and strong — one that can push for rebalancing global governance and bring about a fairer, more just and reasonable new international order.

Having endured an abundance of U.S.-led suppression, Russia will undoubtedly move to take advantage of its BRICS presidency to promote four key goals. It is determined to join hands with other BRICS nations to bring about a just, reasonable, multipolar world and break the dominance of the West.

As dissatisfaction with the Western-led financial system grows, BRICS is emerging as a collective voice for developing nations, challenging the dominance of the U.S.-led global order and advocating for alternatives to the dollar and euro.
