Foreign ministers from the enlarged BRICS bloc met in Brasília on Thursday, where host Mauro Vieira urged the group to craft “practical pathways” for resolving global conflicts and strengthening multilateral security ahead of the leaders’ summit later this year.
Foreign ministers from the BRICS group convened in Brazil on Thursday for a working session focused on the bloc’s role in managing global crises and promoting peace and security.
Delegations from Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa and the group’s newer members — Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates — arrived at Itamaraty Palace around 13:30 GMT before posing for an official photograph.
Opening the session, Brazilian Foreign Minister Mauro Vieira said BRICS must offer “practical pathways to de-escalation and reconstruction” in conflicts from Gaza to Ukraine while pushing for reform of multilateral institutions. He urged colleagues to expand joint peace-keeping training and pool development-bank resources for humanitarian relief.
The meeting comes as the enlarged BRICS seeks to translate its greater economic heft into coordinated diplomatic influence ahead of the group’s leaders’ summit, also set for Brazil later this year.
