BRICS Voice Should Be Heard at Global Arena, Ramaphosa Says
These changes "bring both new opportunities and heightened uncertainty," South African President Cyril Ramaphosa said at the BRICS summit taking place in Rio de Janeiro.
According to him, the old institutions are failing to address existing conflicts and new threats, while BRICS plays a vital role in this changing landscape, and "the voice of BRICS in the global world must be louder."
"With our broad geographical footprint and growing influence, BRICS is uniquely positioned to advocate for reform in global governance structures," he said. "BRICS must strengthen its voice in calling for a global framework that is inclusive, representative and anchored in the principles of sovereignty, equality and peaceful coexistence."
The South African president said BRICS needed to step up its role in resolving the current conflicts.
"We must continue to advocate for the urgent intensification of diplomatic efforts to de-escalate tensions and ensure sustainable and lasting peace. We remain deeply concerned by the heavy human toll of conflicts in Russia and Ukraine, the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, Sudan and Gaza, among others, Ramaphosa said. "We must find just and lasting solutions to these devasting conflicts. Achieving and maintaining peace and security requires the collective will of the community of nations. Through dialogue, through respect for the rule of law, through the advancement of human rights, through cooperation and solidarity, we can and must achieve peace for the collective good."
