The 16th BRICS Summit will be hosted by the Russian Federation.
Initially comprised of Brazil, the Russian Federation, India, China, and South Africa, the recently expanded alliance now also includes Argentina, Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The BRICS countries convene for a BRICS Leaders’ Summit annually. Discussions focus on spheres of political and socioeconomic coordination, in which member countries have identified business opportunities, economic complementarities, and areas of cooperation.
As the Chair of BRICS, Russia is focusing on the theme, ‘Strengthening Multilateralism for Just Global Development and Security’. This theme informs Russia’s priorities for 2024 in the areas of policy and security, cooperation in economy and finance, and cooperation in the humanitarian and cultural spheres.
