Brazilian diplomat says BRICS is not anti-West: Video
In a recent statement, Brazilian diplomat Eduardo Saboia emphasised the constructive role of BRICS countries in global affairs.
Speaking ahead of the BRICS summit scheduled for July 2025 in Rio de Janeiro, Saboia highlighted the bloc's commitment to fostering positive international relations and economic cooperation.
"The BRICS do not emerge as something anti-something, anti-West, or anti. On the contrary, after the 2008 crisis, countries, the major developed economies, sought the participation, the collaboration of the BRICS countries in the effort to relaunch the global economy.," Saboia stated, underscoring the group's focus on collaboration rather than confrontation.
This sentiment reflects the bloc's broader strategy of enhancing trade, investment, and technological exchange among its members, which include Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa, along with recent additions such as Iran, Egypt, Ethiopia, and the United Arab Emirates.
Saboia's remarks come at a time of heightened global tensions, with incoming U.S. President Donald Trump threatening to impose tariffs on BRICS nations if they undermine the U.S. dollar.
