BRICS want changes in the current world orderThey say it is an inclusive and peaceful organization. Some of the conclusions that came out of the conference "BRICS + In a Multipolar World: Power Cooperation and Conflict" that was organized by the Islamic Observatory and that took place in the Lisbon Mosque.
The meeting was attended by the ambassadors of India, Iran and Kosovo, as well as several diplomats, including from Russia and Saudi Arabia.
For the ambassador of India, the country that currently leads the BRICS group, this organization believes above all in multilateralism.
Puneet Ambassador Roy Kundal says the BRICS are an open platform and started with four members: Brazil, Russia, India and China, but now there are 11. South Africa, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates, Iran and Indonesia were the countries that recently joined.
A joint declaration advocating reform of the world economic order was signed. Iran's ambassador believes a new Forum needs to emerge so that everyone can better understand each other, Majid Tafreshi said.
For the Islamic World Observatory, organizer of the event, which took place last week, the BRICS cannot be ignored, as they represent 49.5 percent of the world's population. Although they are still in their early stages, says João Henriques, CEO of the Islamic World Observatory.
For João Henriques, the BRICS are in an embryonic phase and are not an opposition to the Western bloc. This is an inclusive organization that calls for peace and consensus. Although there are differences and there is no discourse, with one voice.
