Russian Deputy Foreign Minister and BRICS Sherpa Sergey Ryabkov took part in the BRICS countries’ sherpa/sous-sherpa meeting, which concluded Brazil's Chairship and was held on December 11-12 in Brasilia. According to the Russian Foreign Ministry, the meeting summarised the results of the year and noted progress in key areas of cooperation.
"The participants reviewed this year’s cooperation outcomes. More than 260 political, economic, and humanitarian events, including the BRICS Summit and nearly 20 ministerial meetings, took place this year," the statement said. "The contribution of the Brazilian Chairship to ensuring continuity of the BRICS strategic partnership was noted, along with progress achieved across all key areas such as politics and security, the economy and finance, and cultural and humanitarian exchanges".
The Foreign Ministry highlighted the achievements of the year: the launch of the #BRICS Partnership for the Elimination of Socially Determined Diseases, the adoption of leadership statements on climate finance and global governance in the field of artificial intelligence.
Cooperation in the fields of energy, healthcare, transport, science, and innovation has gained additional momentum, as noted. Dialogue has also continued on the initiatives of the Russian Chairship in 2024, including the creation of an independent settlement infrastructure, an investment platform, and a BRICS grain exchange.
