Two dozen world leaders gathered in Russia for the opening of the BRICS summit. The summit is the largest such meeting in Russia since the aggressor country launched a full-scale war on the territory of Ukraine.
There is a definition that the BRICS was created to reform international financial institutions such as the IMF or the World Bank to improve the representation of emerging economies.
In 2014, the BRICS countries established the New Development Bank (NBD) with a capital of over $250 billion to lend money to developing countries.
The BRICS will be held in Kazan from October 22 to 24, and will be joined by all of Russia's key partners, including Chinese President Xi Jinping, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
The expansion of the BRICS group is positioned as one of the pillars of Russia's foreign policy.
