Rio de Janeiro’s Mayor, Eduardo Paes, emphasised that this high-level meeting will further enhance the city’s international standing. He recalled that last year, Rio also hosted the Group of Twenty (G20) Summit, which brought together the leaders of the world’s 20 largest economies, as reported by
Metrópoles, a partner of TV BRICS.

Earlier, the Brazilian government outlined its priorities for the country’s BRICS presidency, which include fostering cooperation across the Global South and strengthening partnerships for social development. The authorities intend to focus particularly on global health, trade and finance, climate change, artificial intelligence governance, reform of international security architecture, and institutional development.

The BRICS Summit will serve as the highlight of Brazil’s presidency, which will continue until 31 December 2025.
