Putin at the BRICS Business Forum:

Putin at the BRICS Business Forum: BRICS is already playing a significant role in the global economy not only today, but will obviously play a greater role tomorrow. The countries that make up our association are in fact the drivers of economic growth, and it is the BRICS that will generate the bulk of global GDP growth in the foreseeable future. Appropriate platforms for development are being built within the framework of the association - these are communication channels, technological and educational standards, financial systems, payment instruments, and, of course, mechanisms for sustainable long-term investment, which means that the economic growth of BRICS members in the future will depend less and less on outside influence or interference.
