Russian MFA Spokeswoman M.Zakharova on the BRICS Youth Summit: "The BRICS Youth Summit, a traditional event held for the 10th time, opened in Ulyanovsk on July 22 and will last until July 26. The summit is held in accordance with the Action Plan of the Russian BRICS Chairmanship and will be the key event on our agenda in line with Russia’s main position which is to “strengthen multilateralism for equitable global growth and security.” The event will serve to foster youth cooperation among the participating countries, to share experiences and to propose initiatives for joint implementation. More than 200 young people and 20 experts from the BRICS countries are expected to speak on five different subjects, including “Education, Science and Training,” “Youth Entrepreneurship,” “Science, Technology and Innovation,” “Youth Civil Society Service and Volunteering,” as well as “Sport and Healthy Lifestyle.” Each issue was developed by a separate country. Russia, in particular, addressed education and science. The BRICS Youth Media Platform, BRICS Radio and the BRICS Universe project, which is a series of exhibitions, will be presented during the summit. The exhibits include 40 images by photographers from the participating countries and works by cosmonauts Sergey Kud-Sverchkov and Ivan Vagner who captured views of the Earth from the International Space Station. The project will last through October and will cover Nizhny Novgorod, Russia; Mumbai, India; Cape Town, South Africa; and Kazan, Russia. On July 25, BRICS ministers and heads of youth affairs agencies will meet to discuss proposals for lining up youth cooperation and the World Youth Festival’s legacy."
