What concerns the US about the BRICS emerging economies?
(Baonghean.vn) - The US administration is trying to "save face" by saying that it does not consider BRICS as geopolitical competitors, Russian Senator Alexei Pushkov commented on Telegram.
"The US administration tries to save face by saying that it does not consider BRICS as geopolitical competitors. However, it is clear that BRICS, not the G7, will definitely have a geopolitical role," Pushkov said.
According to Mr. Pushkov, the unanimous refusal of BRICS member states and all candidates to join the bloc to support Western sanctions against Russia “is already a geopolitical event.” “Like calls to abandon the dollar in transactions between countries in the bloc,” the senator added.
The BRICS summit was held in Johannesburg on August 22-24 with the participation of leaders of China, India, Brazil and South Africa, represented by Russia by Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov. Russian President Vladimir Putin attended the conference via video conference. BRICS includes Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa; recently 23 countries expressed their desire to join this economic bloc./.
