Leaders from around the world recently gathered in Kazan, Russia for a summit of the BRICS group, which includes countries such as China, India, and Turkey. The summit, taking place between October 22-24, is Russia’s largest diplomatic event since its invasion of Ukraine, highlighting Moscow’s defiance of Western isolation.
Russian President Vladimir Putin is seeking unity among BRICS leaders to challenge Western “hegemony” and strengthen ties between the member countries. With China’s Xi Jinping, India’s Narendra Modi, and Turkey’s Recep Tayyip Erdogan in attendance, the summit serves as a platform for discussions on economic cooperation, trade agreements, and geopolitical strategies.
Amidst global tensions and power struggles, Putin appears to be leveraging the BRICS group as a counterbalance to Western dominance in international affairs. The summit offers an opportunity for the participating countries to bolster their alliances and assert their influence on the world stage.
As the summit unfolds, all eyes are on the interactions and agreements made between these key leaders. The outcome of the discussions and decisions taken during the BRICS summit could have far-reaching implications for global politics and the balance of power in the international arena.
