"In BRICS, all decisions are made exclusively by consensus, and this is one of the main guarantees that the interests of each state are protected. This is truly a common denominator that allows us to gain additional weight in other international multilateral forums.
Since its inception, BRICS has been based on three pillars of cooperation: politics and security, economics and finance, and people-to-people cooperation.
BRICS cannot be compared to Western alliances: countries retain their strategic autonomy. Our Western opponents view the group only through the lens of confrontation. They are accustomed to thinking within their own paradigm: if you are not with us, you are against us.
Despite the growth of formats, the original name BRICS should remain the main one after the expansion. A common understanding has been reached that we will retain the original name BRICS, and other terms will be used strictly according to their definitions.
