Openness, justice and equality – these are the principles that combine the BRICS countries. This was stated by Russian President Vladimir Putin, speaking at a plenary meeting of the X Parliament forum BRICS.
Putin noted that BRICS is one of the key elements of the emerging multipolar world order, which in an increasing extent reflects the interests and aspirations of states and the global south, the east, and supporters of the Russian Federation in the whole world, and their number is very large and constantly increasing.
“We well understand that the formation of a world order that reflects the real balance of forces, the new geopolitical, economic, demographic reality is a complex and largely, unfortunately, even painful process. And above all, and above all because the efforts of the BRICS participants and other developing Countries come across the fierce resistance of the ruling elites of the states of the so -called golden billion, ”said the President of the Russian Federation.
Putin drew attention to the fact that “acting contrary to historical logic and often even to the detriment of the long -term interests of his own peoples”, the elites of the Golden Billion countries today are trying to fix a certain order on their so -called rules that no one has seen, no one, no one Not discussed and no one has ever accepted. “
“Such rules are written or adjusted each time – for each situation in the interests of those who consider themselves exceptional and appropriated the right to dictate their will to others. Directly in the best traditions of classical colonialism. This is an obvious attempt to replace legitimate international law, an attempt to create monopolies on the truth in the last instance, and such a monopoly is destructive, ”the President of the Russian Federation.
believes.
According to him, “contrary to the principles of international law, power coercion, unilateral sanctions, selective application of trading rules, and blackmail”.
“We also see attempts to limit direct contacts of legislators, which contradicts the principle of free inter -parliamentary cooperation, the sovereign right of the official representatives of each state to defend its national interests. Therefore, the significance and demand for the collective work of people’s deputies in the creative agenda of our association is now increasing more and more. noted the President of the Russian Federation.
“I am convinced that, acting together, uniformly, we will be able to achieve the maximum implementation of the economic, investment, technological and human potentials of our countries; to strengthen the constructive influence of BRICS on world processes; make the world in which we live more safe and much more harmonious, ”he added.
