The alliance of Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa (BRICS) started its 15th annual summit of leaders in Johannesburg, running from August 22 to 24.
BRICS members at Tuesday's meeting will mainly focus on reducing the bloc's dependence on the greenback, South African Deputy President Paul Mashatile said.

“Today the world takes notice of this bloc because it’s at the forefront of the global discourse,” to reduce dependence on the dollar, according to the South African deputy president, quoted by western media.

As the agency noted, BRICS leaders, in particular, will consider ways to boost the number of payments in their national currencies.
