BRICS aims for global economic growth, emphasizing independence from external influences. At the summit in Kazan, new memberships will be discussed, with over 30 countries expressing interest in cooperation. Key initiatives include the creation of digital currency and a cross-border payment system to strengthen economic ties.
Russian President Vladimir Putin noted the role of BRICS in the global economy. A new group with the participation of Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, and the UAE will become a counterbalance to the West. The use of digital currencies is also planned for financing investment projects.
