The BRICS Summit was held in Kazan, Russia, from October 22 to 24, marking Russia's largest foreign policy event of the year. During the event, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that the BRICS countries have committed to building a more democratic and multipolar world order.
The recent
BRICS Summit in Kazan has highlighted a pivotal moment for the BRICS alliance, particularly as it navigates an evolving global political landscape,
Dr. Cliff Mboya, a researcher at the Center for Africa-China Studies at the University of Johannesburg, told
Sputnik Africa.
He described this as a "unique and important moment for BRICS" as it positions itself against what many see as longstanding
Western dominance in global governance.
According to Mboya, the timing of the summit is crucial.
"It comes at a time when Russia is under intense pressure from the West in terms of sanctions," he noted, adding that Russia, as the recent BRICS chair, has focused on uniting countries across the Global South to resist what it sees as "authoritarian" approaches in international decision-making.
This movement reflects a growing desire among developing nations for a system where "big or small states can sit together, exchange ideas, and work through consensus."
Mboya explained that this push from Russia and its allies stems from their belief in creating "a just, fair global governance system," where collaboration is prioritized over coercion. The summit has underscored BRICS’ commitment to building a multipolar world order based on equity and mutual respect, values that BRICS nations seek to integrate into global governance structures.
