South Africa

The global South does not accept that a West of waning power should continue to define what it should do and how it should think.

Under the slogan "Partnership for a common future”, the XV annual Summit of the BRICS group of emerging economies (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa) began

At the invitation of the organising country, South Africa, the Polisario Front leader attended the BRICS summit in Johannesburg with the help of the Algerian president

Saudi Arabia is one of the main candidates to become a new full member of the BRICS

New Delhi understands Rabat's position on BRICS due to tensions between South Africa and the Kingdom of Morocco

Similarly, Rabat has consistently ruled out attending the group's meeting in South Africa

This excludes the postulates and presence of the Polisario Front

The expected incorporation of the Saudi kingdom into the main group of emerging economies as a full member opens up great possibilities for cooperation and an increase in the entity's capacity for economic manoeuvre

Russia has denounced US and French pressure on African countries not to attend the summit

As a member state of the ICC, South Africa is obliged to cooperate in Putin's arrest

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov will personally represent Russia at the summit

China and India's holdings have risen from 20 to 50% of the world market in the last thirty years
