Russian President Vladimir Putin addressed participants of the BRICS Business Forum ahead of the 2024 BRICS Summit in Kazan due to open early next week.

Here are Putin’s main statements at the forum:

💬BRICS is already playing a prominent role (https://t.me/geopolitics_live/35219)in global economy, and this role will increase in the future. BRICS countries, in fact, remain drivers of global economic growth. And it is BRICS that will generate the main GDP growth in the near future.

💬The combined gross domestic product (GDP) of BRICS countries is more than 60 trillion dollars (https://t.me/geopolitics_live/35217), something that exceeds the GDP of G7 members (https://t.me/geopolitics_live/35214).

💬The relevant development platforms are emerging within BRICS, among them communication channels, financial systems, payment instruments, and, of course, mechanisms of sustainable long-term investment.

💬The new BRICS Development Bank (https://t.me/geopolitics_live/35220) has a special role to play in strengthening financial cooperation between BRICS members (https://t.me/geopolitics_live/35215). The bank should become one of the key investors in the long-term and major technological infrastructure projects within BRICS.

💬Russia is quickly redirecting its transport flows to reliable foreign partners (https://t.me/geopolitics_live/35222). Our flagship projects include the Northern Sea Route and the North-South Corridor.

💬Russia closely cooperates with our BRICS (https://t.me/geopolitics_live/35213)partners in the field of innovation, digital economy and artificial intelligence technologies.
