The 16th BRICS Summit just dropped a geopolitical mic 🎤, proving the Global South isn’t waiting for permission to reshape global governance. Over 30 developing nations united in a bold call for equity, challenging outdated Western-dominated frameworks. \"Why should some countries set the rules while others just follow?\" the summit seemed to ask.
Peace First: No More Proxy Battles
Chinese President Xi Jinping spotlighted peace as BRICS Plus’ superpower 🕊️. With wars raging globally, Xi announced the China-Brazil six-point consensus on Ukraine and the Friends for Peace group to cool tensions. \"Let’s tackle root causes, not just symptoms,\" he urged, referencing China’s recent mediation between Palestinian factions in Beijing.
Global South Flexes Diplomatic Muscle
Western double standards? Not on BRICS’ watch ⏱️. Xi’s Global Security Initiative – launched in 2022 – offers a fresh playbook: stability over division, cooperation over exploitation. \"The developing world must drive its own future,\" he declared, pushing back against resource-grabs disguised as \"aid.\"
Development Reboot: By Us, For Us
Forget trickle-down economics 💧. The summit demanded a development agenda written by the Global South. Xi called for tech sharing, fair trade, and financial systems that don’t trap nations in debt. The message? Time to codevelop, not compete 🚀.
