🎙Remarks by President of Russia Vladimir Putin at the main Plenary Session of the XVII BRICS Summit(July 6, 2025)
💬President Putin: Colleagues, friends.
First of all, I would like to join the words of gratitude to President Lula da Silva and the Brazilian Chairmanship for their active efforts in advancing the strategic partnership within #BRICS.
It is important that the BRICS countries continue to deepen their cooperation across key sectors in politics, security, the economy and finance, cultural and humanitarian contacts.
This group has significantly grown and now includes leading states in Eurasia, Africa, the Middle East, and Latin America. Together, we possess a vast political, economic, scientific, technological, and human potential.
📈 The BRICS countries account for not only a third of the Earth’s landmass and almost half the planet’s population, but also for 40 percent of the global economy, while their combined GDP at purchasing power parity stands at $77 trillion. This is the 2025 data according to the IMF. By the way, BRICS is substantially ahead of other groups in this parameter, including G7 with $57 trillion.
Year after year, our group’s global authority and influence continue growing. BRICS has rightfully established itself as one of the key centres of global governance, with our collective voice in support of the global majority’s vital interests resonating ever more powerfully across the international stage.
BRICS has many supporters in the Global South and East. The culture of an open partnership and cooperation, mutual respect and consideration for each other’s interests in the group appeals to them. Based on this knowledge, during the summit in Kazan, Russia, in October 2024, we decided to establish a category of BRICS partner states, to develop ad hoc practical cooperation with all interested countries. BRICS has ten partner states to date.
🌐 I will stress that the BRICS countries represent different development models, religions, authentic civilisations and cultures, while unanimously upholding equality and neighbourliness. They prioritise traditional values, the high ideals of friendship and accord, striving to contribute to global stability and security, the prosperity and success of all nations. Without doubt, this constructive approach and unifying agenda are highly relevant amidst the geopolitical challenges of today.
We all see that the world is experiencing tectonic shifts. The unipolar system of international relations that once served the interests of the so-called golden billion, is losing its relevance, replaced by a more just multi-polar world. Global economic patterns are changing faster. Everything indicates that the liberal globalisation model is becoming obsolete while the centre of business activity is gravitating towards developing markets, launching a powerful growth wave, including in the BRICS countries. To maximise the emerging prospects, it is important to intensify cooperation within the group, primarily in technology, effective resource development, logistics, insurance, trade and finance.
It is important to continue expanding the use of national currencies in mutual payments. It is believed that creating an independent payment and monetary system within BRICS will expedite currency transactions while also ensuring their effectiveness and security. Furthermore, using national currencies in trade within BRICS is steadily growing. In 2024, the share of Russia’s national currency, the ruble, and the currencies of our friendly states in transactions with Russia and other BRICS countries reached 90 percent.

🎙Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s remarks at Session II of the XVII BRICS Summit «Strengthening multilateral world order, financial and economic issues, artificial intelligence»(Rio de Janeiro, July 6, 2025)
📄Read in full
Key talking points:
• Strengthening the multilateral world order while the international system goes through fundamental transformations is one of the crucial tasks for#BRICS and for the entire international community.
• Multipolarity is not a choice but rather an objective reality which succeeds the outdated neoliberal model that actually builds on neocolonial practices. The traditional paradigm of globalization where the predominant role is played by the so-called developed states of the West is becoming a relic.
• Countries of the Global South and East are becoming a main driving force of the global economic growth. Regional organizations such as the African Union, CELAC, ASEAN, SCO, EAEU are playing an increased role. In this context conceptual and practical approaches are being developed to establish a new architecture of world economy based on the principles of equality, multilateralism and non-discrimination in trade, financial settlements, technology, logistics.
• BRICS countries account for more than 40% of the global gross domestic product based on purchasing power parity, and together with partner countries this figure is at 45% or 93 trillion dollars. Today BRICS represents more than 20% of global trade and almost a half of world population.
• The share of BRICS countries in trade with Russia is constantly growing and in 2014 it exceeded 48%, with 90% of mutual settlements made in national currencies.
• It is of significant importance to pursue the reform and depolarization of the Bretton-Woods institutions which should reflect a real state of affairs in the world economy. The continued use of the IMF and WB with a view to preserve neocolonial practices is unacceptable.
• The increasingly aggressive attempts by the West to introduce ideological ultimatums into the dialogue as what are virtually the main criteria – based on Western interpretations of human rights and democracy – are having an extremely negative impact on the delivery of the UN sustainable development goals.
• To address imbalances and to mobilize resources for development Russia introduced an initiative to create within BRICS a New Investment Platform with the participation of the New Development Bank (NDB). We thank colleagues for showing their interest to the promising initiative.
• Artificial Intelligence is becoming a critical technology. Experts estimate that AI contribution to the global domestic product will be at 20 trillion dollars by 2030.
• We will need to address issues related to ensuring universal access to advance developments in this field. Secret initiatives put forward by a number of countries and with restricted participation with a view to promote non-consensus approaches are fraught with the most serious consequences.
• The challenges associated with the development of digital technologies are transnational in nature and require collective response.
• I am convinced that BRICS nations together with like-minded countries will continue to lead in promoting a just multipolar world order that will provide favourable conditions for sustainable development of all States without exception.
✉️ President of Russia Vladimir Putincongratulated current staff and veterans of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation on their professional holiday, Diplomatic Worker's Day.
The message reads, in part:
✍️ The Russian Foreign Ministry can be justly proud of its rich and glorious history. Its employees have always served the Motherland with honour, displaying civic courage, exceptional professionalism and dedication to duty.
Continuing these traditions with dignity, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the current challenging international environment, firmly and consistently defends Russia's legitimate national interests. It ensures effective cooperation with the global majority states in order to build a just multipolar world order based on mutual respect, the rule of international law, and the principles of equal and indivisible security. This is evidenced, in particular, by the productive work of the Russian chairmanship in #BRICS and the success of the Group’s Summit in Kazan.
There is no doubt that in the year of the 80th Anniversary of the Great Victory Russian diplomats will continue their active efforts in opposing any attempts to falsify history, manifestations of neo-Nazism, Russophobia and other forms of discrimination based on ethnic or religious grounds. Moreover, protecting the rights of our compatriots abroad remains a priority.
I am confident that the close-knit Foreign Ministry team will continue to work with utmost dedication, contributing to the strengthening of Russia's international standing.
I sincerely wish all employees of the Ministry's central office and diplomatic missions abroad continued success, and to the veterans of the diplomatic service good health, high spirits and longevity.

Key talking points:
• In the modern world, creating nuclear weapons is not a difficult task. I do not know whether current-day Ukraine is capable of doing this now though. It is not easy for Ukraine today, but generally there are no big difficulties in this regard, with everyone knowing how it is done. <...> I can say straight away: under no circumstances will Russia allow this to happen.
• NATO is waging war against us with the hands of the Ukrainian soldiers, and Ukraine spares no lives for the interests of third countries, but Ukraine on its own does not use high-tech weapons: NATO does that.
• What sets BRICS apart from many other international organisations/fora? #BRICS was never meant to be created to oppose anyone. It is a group of countries that work together, guided by shared values, a common vision for development, and, most importantly, by the consideration of each other’s interests.
• In certain sectors, humanity’s existence is impossible without the BRICS countries, particularly in food and energy markets and so on.
• Russian-Chinese cooperation on the global stage is undoubtedly one of the key pillars of strategic stability worldwide.
• We do not interfere in [bilateral relations of other countries]. If there are any issues arising and if there is something that depends on us, we are ready to offer our services in resolving these issues, if they arise and if the participants in the corresponding process are interested in any involvement from our side.
• The United States should not have destroyed the [Middle East] Quartet. it worked, it was easier to agree on all positions. But the US monopolised the work, took all the responsibility and eventually failed.
• The main method to resolve the Palestinian issue is to create a full-fledged Palestinian state.
• 95% of Russia’s foreign trade with its partners is being done in national currencies. The United States did it themselves.
• The International Criminal Court has no universal power. This is an international organisation whose jurisdiction Russia does not recognise, like many other countries.
🎙 President of Russia Vladimir Putin's address at the Plenary Session of the Future Technologies Forum(February 25, 2026, Moscow)
💬Vladimir Putin: The bioeconomy is far more than a field of scientific knowledge. With their bold ideas, scientists and engineers are already shaping a new reality and a new industrial paradigm – applying advances in biology and genetics to improve people’s lives and preserve our planet and its fragile ecosystem.
We in Russia take pride in the major scientific contribution made by the discoveries, philosophical and scientific teachings of Vladimir Vernadsky, Ilya Mechnikov, Kliment Timiryazev, Nikolai Koltsov, Nikolai Vavilov, Vladimir Engelhardt and other outstanding Russian scholars, including our contemporaries.
We will continue to expand our capabilities and move forward. Biotechnology – reinforced by the power of computing systems and artificial intelligence – is developing at an unprecedented pace. It helps address the key challenges of our time: climate change, food shortages and the depletion of renewable resources, and can serve projects both on Earth and in space.
❗️ I have repeatedly stressed: equal access to the technologies of the future – not privileges for the “chosen few” – is an indispensable condition for the fair development of our civilisation.
That is why, within #BRICS and other associations, as well as through bilateral cooperation, we are ready to implement joint scientific, educational and investment programmesin biotechnology for the benefit of all humanity.
<…>
At the Forum, we traditionally discuss areas and developments that shape the future of humankind. Advances in biology, genetics and other life sciences are rightly called the technologies of the 21st century. Together with the IT industry and artificial intelligence, they are transforming the economy and society, creating new opportunities for millions of people.
Digital platforms already support scientists in implementing research projects, connect a craftsman or entrepreneur from a small town with a customer in a megacity, enable residents to participate in managing their building, settlement or entire region, and analyse medical studies in record time, helping doctors save lives. These are just some of the areas within the evolving platform economy.
🇷🇺In this sphere, Russia is creating world-class solutions. We stand ready to share our experience and expertise in the interests of all humanity.

⚡️BRICS Joint Statement on the Escalation of the Security Situation in the Middle East Following the Military Strikes on the Territory of the Islamic Republic of Iran (June 24, 2025)
📃 We express grave concern over the military strikes against the Islamic Republic of Iran since 13 June 2025, which constitute a violation of international law and the Charter of the United Nations, and the subsequent escalation of the security situation in the Middle East.
In the face of rising tensions with unpredictable consequences for international peace and security, as well as for the world economy, we underscore the urgent need to break the cycle of violence and restore peace.
We call on all parties to engage through existing channels of dialogue and diplomacy, with a view to de-escalating the situation and resolving their differences through peaceful means.
☝️ We express serious concern over any attacks against peaceful nuclear installations, which are carried out in violation of international law and relevant resolutions of the International Atomic Energy Agency.
Nuclear safeguards, safety and security must always be upheld, including in armed conflicts, to protect people and environment from harm. In this context, we reiterate our support for diplomatic initiatives aimed at addressing regional challenges.
Civilian lives must be protected, and civilian infrastructure must be safeguarded, in full compliance with international humanitarian law. We extend our sincere condolences to the families of the victims and express our solidarity with civilians affected.
Guided by the principles enshrined in the United Nations Charter, #BRICS remains committed to promoting international peace and security and to fostering diplomacy and peaceful dialogue as the only sustainable path toward long-term stability in the region. In this regard, we also reaffirm the necessity of establishing a zone free of nuclear weapons and other weapons of mass destruction in the Middle East, in line with relevant international resolutions.
❗️ We call upon the international community to support and facilitate dialogue processes, uphold international law, and contribute constructively to peaceful settlements of disputes for the benefit of all humanity.
BRICS countries will remain seized of the matter.

Articol al directorului Departamentului de Cooperare Economică al Ministerului Afacerilor Externe al Federației Ruse, Dmitri Biricevski, pentru revista „Dialogul Eurasiatic” (3 aprilie 2026)
Teze-cheie:
• Rusia se afirmă drept unul dintre centrele consolidatoare ale ordinii mondiale multipolare. Trecerea pe locul al patrulea în lume după volumul PIB calculat la paritatea puterii de cumpărare, reziliența economiei naționale în condițiile unei presiuni externe fără precedent, precum și pozițiile-cheie pe platformele de guvernanță globală, precum ONU, #BRICS și G20, consolidează rolul nostru important în definirea noului mod de organizare economică, a principiilor de funcționare a piețelor și a lanțurilor de aprovizionare.
• Un factor distructiv în politica globală contemporană îl constituie fostele sale forțe motrice — țările occidentale, care pierd în etapa actuală în fața noilor locomotive de creștere în cadrul unei competiții corecte. Foștii hegemoni, în încercarea de a-și menține dominația și de a nu permite superioritatea concurenților, folosesc în mod iresponsabil economia ca armă.
• Războiul sancțiunilor declanșat de Occident împotriva Rusiei a necesitat din partea țării noastre acțiuni sistemice de adaptare la schimbarea radicală a condițiilor externe și o restructurare amplă a întregii arhitecturi a cooperării economice.
• Într-un timp scurt, a fost necesară reorientarea contactelor economice externe către țările din Sud și Est și construirea unor mecanisme de sprijin pentru companiile autohtone, nevoite să-și refacă modelele de afaceri consacrate și să caute noi forme de cooperare, să rezolve operativ problemele legate de decontările reciproce și logistică. Dinamica actuală a legăturilor comercial-economice confirmă justețea deciziilor adoptate și rezultatele pozitive ale implementării lor.
• Orientarea către consolidarea principiilor multipolare în economia globală necesită o implicare mai largă a Sudului în procesele economice mondiale, formarea unui model echitabil de dezvoltare a Africii. Premisele necesare pentru aceasta le vedem în integrarea statelor continentului în lanțurile transfrontaliere de producție și desfacere, nu doar în calitate de furnizori de materii prime, ci și de producători de bunuri intermediare și finite.
• Spre deosebire de țările occidentale, Rusia nu condiționează cooperarea economică de considerente politice conjuncturale și nu se amestecă în treburile interne ale statelor suverane. Propunem un model deschis de cooperare reciproc avantajoasă, bazat pe respectarea intereselor naționale ale partenerilor.
• Agenda pe care MAE, în tandem cu ministerele de resort, o promovează activ pe plan extern are un caracter constructiv și unificator. Aceasta este orientată spre construirea unei ordini economice mondiale mai democratice, care va înlocui modelele de cooperare învechite, formate pe baza abordărilor neocoloniale occidentalocentrice.
🎙Discursul Ministrului Afacerilor Externe al Rusiei, Serghei Lavrov, la cea de-a II-a sesiune a celui de-al XVII-lea Summit BRICS pe tema „Consolidarea ordinii mondiale multilaterale, probleme financiare și economice și inteligența artificială” (Rio de Janeiro, 6 iulie 2025)
📄Textul integral: https://mid.ru/ru/foreign_policy/news/2034305/?lang=en
Teze cheie:
• Consolidarea ordinii mondiale multilaterale în contextul transformărilor fundamentale ale sistemului internațional reprezintă una dintre cele mai importante sarcini a asociației #BRICS și a întregii comunități internaționale.
• Multipolaritatea nu este o alegere, ci o realitate obiectivă, care înlocuiește modelul neoliberal învechit, construit, în esență, pe practici neocoloniale. Paradigma tradițională a globalizării, cu rolul dominant al așa-numitelor state dezvoltate din Occident, aparține trecutului.
• Țările Sudului Global și ale Orientului devin principala forță motrice a creșterii economice globale. Importanța uniunilor regionale precum Uniunea Africană, CELAC, ASEAN, OCS, UEEA este în creștere. În cadrul acestora se elaborează abordări conceptuale și aplicate pentru formarea unei noi arhitecturi economice mondiale, bazate pe principiile egalității, multilateralismului și nediscriminării în domeniile comerțului, decontărilor financiare, tehnologiilor și logisticii.
• Statele BRICS dețin deja peste 40% din produsul intern brut mondial calculat la paritatea puterii de cumpărare, iar împreună cu țările partenere, această cifră ajunge la 45%, sau 93 trilioane de dolari. BRICS reprezintă astăzi peste 20% din comerțul mondial și aproape jumătate din populația planetei.
• Ponderea țărilor BRICS în comerțul exterior al Rusiei crește constant și, la sfârșitul anului 2024, a depășit 48%, în timp ce 90% dintre decontările reciproce se efectuează în monede naționale.
• Reformarea și depolitizarea instituțiilor de la Bretton Woods este esențială pentru atingerea acestor obiective, astfel încât ele să reflecte raportul real de forțe din economia mondială. Este inacceptabil ca FMI și BM să continue să fie folosite pentru menținerea practicilor neocoloniale.
• Tentativele tot mai agresive ale Occidentului de a introduce în dialogul internațional, aproape ca principale criterii, ultimatumuri ideologice bazate pe interpretări occidentale ale drepturilor omului și democrației au un impact extrem de negativ asupra realizării Obiectivelor de Dezvoltare Durabilă ale ONU.
• Pentru corectarea dezechilibrelor și mobilizarea resurselor în scopuri de dezvoltare, Rusia a propus înființarea, în cadrul BRICS, a unei Noi Platforme de Investiții, cu participarea Băncii Noi de Dezvoltare (BND). Suntem recunoscători colegilor pentru interesul față de această inițiativă promițătoare.
• Inteligența artificială devine o tehnologie critică. Potrivit estimărilor experților, contribuția acesteia la produsul intern brut mondial ar putea ajunge la aproximativ 20 trilioane de dolari până în 2030.
• Este necesară soluționarea mai multor probleme legate de asigurarea accesului universal la cele mai avansate dezvoltări din acest domeniu. Inițiativele închise promovate de anumite țări, cu participarea unui cerc limitat de „invitați”, pentru impunerea unor abordări neconsensuale, pot avea cele mai grave consecințe.
• Provocările legate de dezvoltarea tehnologiilor digitale sunt de natură transfrontalieră și necesită răspunsuri colective.
• Sunt convins că statele BRICS, împreună cu partenerii care le împărtășesc viziunile, vor continua să fie lideri în promovarea unei ordini mondiale multipolare și echitabile, care să asigure condiții favorabile pentru dezvoltarea durabilă a tuturor statelor, fără excepție.
