Moscow [Russia], July 13 (ANI): BRICS possesses all the core elements needed to achieve sustainable economic growth and improve the quality of life for its populations — from abundant resources and advanced technologies to robust human capital. This was emphasized by Maksim Oreshkin, Deputy Chief of Staff of the Russian Presidential Executive Office, during the BRICS Business Forum in Rio de Janeiro.
Speaking to delegates, Oreshkin highlighted the bloc’s growing global footprint, noting that BRICS now accounts for 40 percent of global GDP and represents more than half of the world’s population.
“Our countries have become the new centers of growth, rapidly urbanizing, with vast domestic markets and forward-looking economies,” he remarked.
He stressed that BRICS nations are already playing a leading role in technology-driven sectors such as telecommunications, aerospace, digital innovation, logistics, and nuclear energy. He also noted that the group is well-positioned to introduce modern financial, investment, and settlement tools that could be directed toward developing human capital.
“By integrating these mechanisms, we have the capacity to shape a new, sustainable framework for global growth,” Oreshkin stated. “It is our collective responsibility to move decisively in this direction.”
In an exclusive interview with TV BRICS, Oreshkin said the summit embodies the true spirit of the BRICS alliance, bringing together nations with distinct cultures and perspectives, yet united by a shared commitment to progress.
“Each summit builds upon the previous one. New initiatives are consistently launched, and they’re being translated into concrete actions — into real cooperation, not just within BRICS but across the Global South and East,” he observed.
He added that this momentum is now driving the global economy, asserting that the BRICS voice is growing stronger with every passing year.
Oreshkin concluded by reiterating that BRICS is no longer just a regional forum but a major architect of the world’s economic future. (ANI)
