📖 Word of the Week: BRICS Think Tank Council (BTTC)

The BRICS Think Tank Council was established at the 2013 Summit in Durban, South Africa, through a decision made by the leaders of the BRICS member nations. It has evolved into a major international dialogue platform, bringing together representatives from leading research institutes and analytical centres across the BRICS countries.

⭐ The BTTC mission is to enhance collaboration within the expert community, foster the exchange of ideas among researchers, and prepare recommendations for national leaders on critical issues related to politics, economy, sustainable development, and global security.

📎 Key BTTC objectives include:
➖ Organising expert platforms
➖ Strengthening interactions among representatives of the expert community
➖ Promoting the agenda and positive image of BRICS
➖ Facilitating the collection and exchange of information
➖ Assessing the fulfilment of BRICS commitments

Every year, the BTTC hosts the BRICS Academic Forum, a pivotal expert platform dedicated to developing ideas and proposals addressing the most pressing challenges in global politics, economy, and development.

Today, the BTTC plays a vital role in shaping the intellectual foundation of BRICS and enhancing cooperation among the countries of the Global South.
