Vladimir Putin’s article BRICS: Towards New Horizons of Strategic Partnership was published ahead of the BRICS Summit, which will be held in Xiamen, China, on September 4 and 5.
September 1, 2017
The 9th BRICS Summit will be held in Xiamen, China, on September 4 and 5. I consider it important in this regard to present Russia’s approaches to cooperation within the framework of this large and respected association and to share my views on the future of our further cooperation.
I would like to begin by expressing our appreciation of China’s significant contribution as this year’s chair of the organisation, which has allowed the BRICS countries as a group to move forward in all the key areas of our partnership, including politics, the economy and culture. Moreover, the group of five has greatly strengthened its global standing.
It is important that our group’s activities are based on the principles of equality, respect for one another’s opinions and consensus. Within BRICS, nothing is ever forced on anyone. When the approaches of its members do not coincide, we work patiently and carefully to coordinate them. This open and trust-based atmosphere is conducive to the successful implementation of our tasks.
Russia highly values the multifaceted cooperation that has developed within BRICS. Our countries’ constructive cooperation on the international arena is aimed at creating a fair multipolar world and equal development conditions for all.
Russia stands for closer coordination of the BRICS countries’ foreign policies, primarily at the UN and G20, as well as other international organisations. It is clear that only the combined efforts of all countries can help bring about global stability and find solutions to many acute conflicts, including those in the Middle East. I would like to say that it was largely thanks to the efforts of Russia and other concerned countries that conditions have been created to improve the situation in Syria. We have delivered a powerful blow to the terrorists and laid the groundwork for launching the movement towards a political settlement and the return of the Syrian people to peace.
However, the fight against terrorists in Syria and other countries and regions must continue. Russia calls for going over from debates to the practical creation of a broad counterterrorism front based on international law and led by the UN. Naturally, we highly appreciate the support and assistance of our BRICS partners in this respect.
I have to say a few words about the situation on the Korean Peninsula, where tensions have grown recently and the situation is balancing on the brink of a large-scale conflict. Russia believes that the policy of putting pressure on Pyongyang to stop its nuclear missile programme is misguided and futile. The region’s problems should only be settled through a direct dialogue of all the parties concerned without any preconditions. Provocations, pressure and militarist and insulting rhetoric are a dead-end road.
Russia and China have created a roadmap for a settlement on the Korean Peninsula that is designed to promote the gradual easing of tensions and the creation of a mechanism for lasting peace and security.
Russia also calls for promoting the interaction of the BRICS countries in the area of global information security. We propose joining our efforts to create a legal basis for cooperation and subsequently to draft and adopt universal rules of responsible behaviour of states in this sphere. A major step towards this goal would be the signing of an intergovernmental BRICS agreement on international information security.
I would like to point out that on Russia’s initiative a BRICS Strategy for Economic Partnership was adopted at the Ufa Summit in 2015 and is being successfully implemented. We hope to be able to discuss new large-scale cooperation tasks in trade and investment and industrial cooperation at the Xiamen Summit.
Russia is interested in promoting economic cooperation within the BRICS format. Considerable practical achievements have been recently reported in this area, primarily the launch of the New Development Bank (NDB). It has approved seven investment projects in the BRICS countries worth around $1.5 billion. This year, the NDB is to approve a second package of investment projects worth $2.5-$3 billion in total. I am convinced that their implementation will not only be a boost to our economies but will also promote integration between our countries.
Russia shares the BRICS countries’ concerns over the unfairness of the global financial and economic architecture, which does not give due regard to the growing weight of the emerging economies. We are ready to work together with our partners to promote international financial regulation reforms and to overcome the excessive domination of the limited number of reserve currencies. We will also work towards a more balanced distribution of quotas and voting shares within the IMF and the World Bank.
I am confident that the BRICS countries will continue to act in a consolidated manner against protectionism and new barriers in global trade. We value the BRICS countries’ consensus on this issue, which allows us to more consistently advocate the foundations of an open, equal and mutually beneficial multilateral trade system and to strengthen the role of the WTO as the key regulator in international trade.
Russia’s initiative on the development of cooperation among the BRICS countries’ antimonopoly agencies is aimed at creating effective mechanisms to encourage healthy competition. The goal is to create a package of cooperation measures to work against the restrictive business practices of large multinational corporations and trans-border violations of competition rules.
I would like to draw your attention to Russia’s initiative on the establishment of a BRICS Energy Research Platform. We believe that this would enable us to coordinate our information, analysis and research activities in the interests of the five BRICS countries and would ultimately facilitate the implementation of joint energy investment projects.
Another priority is to build up our cooperation in the area of small and medium-sized enterprises (SME). We believe that we should integrate the national SMEs’ online resources for placing crosslinks and other commercial information and for exchanging data on reliable partners.
Russia is advocating the Women and the Economy public-private dialogue. This initiative provides for holding regular debates by members of the BRICS countries’ business and expert communities, women’s associations and government agencies. The first such meeting was held in Novosibirsk on July 4, 2017, on the sidelines of the First International Women’s Congress of the SCO and BRICS Member States. Another related idea is to create a BRICS Women’s Business Club as a network of professional interaction between women in business through a specialised online information resource.
Our other priorities include cooperation in science, technology, innovations and cutting edge medicine. Our countries have a big potential in this respect that comprises a solid and mutually complementary research base, unique technical achievements, skilled personnel and huge markets for science-intensive products. We propose discussing at the upcoming summit a package of measures to reduce the threat of infectious diseases and to create new medicines to prevent and fight epidemics.
I believe our cooperation in the humanitarian sphere has excellent prospects. While working to implement the BRICS Intergovernmental Agreement on Cooperation in the Field of Culture, we hope that our partners will take part in the New Wave and New Wave Junior international contests of young pop singers. We have also advanced the initiative to create a joint television network of the BRICS countries.
Russia stands for strengthening the BRICS countries’ partnership in politics, the economy, culture and other areas. We are ready to continue working jointly with our colleagues to promote democracy and to strengthen the healthy elements of international relations based firmly on international law. I am convinced that the Xiamen Summit will help invigorate our countries’ efforts towards finding solutions to the challenges of the 21st century and will propel cooperation within BRICS to a higher level.
I wholeheartedly wish health and success to your readers and to all people in the BRICS countries.
Good luck to BRICS
Russia and China also have a roadmap to peace on Korean peninsula … but the ‘bully Trump’ of course won’t take a step back – he wants his pound of flesh – like Shylock.

If you can believe breitbart’s latest, which is where i read that bannon went to when he left the teflon haired Don, he either has a lot bigger things to be concerned about, or he’s just going along with the script proved to him by his handlers!
breitbart claims he’s under a form of ‘house arrest’, where he literally can’t move or even utter a tweet or a bleet because any real independent personal advisors have been purged.
Maybe they’re putting on the finishing touches of a first strike against that new 2 Minutes of Hate terrist threat…pakistan!
which bizarrely, he managed to mouth off about this past week, despite umpteen far higher priority items.
perhaps it was some subconscious freudian reaction to the graven image of Binny popping up (literally) on his morning toast that day.
BOO!
yes, that still does happen.
Meant to add this link too
https://sputniknews.com/columnists/201709011056994575-korea-crisis-orwellian-west/
Reads to me like the perfect hegelian counterpart (Antithesis) to the NATO (Thesis) for the end goal of a UN ruled One World Order dictatorship (Synthesis) in perfect new/doublespeak.
The absence of words like freedom,family,friendship,individual is no coincidence…
If an American says he wants to give you freedom and democracy — run for your life!
You might be right – once the CIA-created feminist movement gains a toe hold you can say goodbye to the family unit, Christianity and a functioning society. These special privileges for women only will be seized upon by the Zionists to subvert the country.
“Russia is advocating the Women and the Economy public-private dialogue. This initiative provides for holding regular debates by members of the BRICS countries’ business and expert communities, women’s associations and government agencies. The first such meeting was held in Novosibirsk on July 4, 2017, on the sidelines of the First International Women’s Congress of the SCO and BRICS Member States.

Awhat? “BRICS Women’s Business Club as a network of professional interaction between women in business through a specialised online information resource.”
No men allowed?
And that is a good thing?. How?
Yes it’s good to see BRICs striking out “independently” but they seem intent on copying many of the pathologies inflicted on western peoples whose societies are bedevilled by screwed up children, broken families, lonely people, suicide, drug and alcohol abuse and a near police state to control everybody.and total division amongst the population along gender, race, religion and economic lines .
Has feminism made anybody happier?
A thousand “Pussy Riots” in Moscow and Beijing, transgenderism taught in the schools plus a thriving abortion industry supplying bio-tech companies with aborted humans? Not to mention war on Christianity.
And what about all those Russian and Chinese “minorities”? Feminists will want to stir them up and bring the same demonic hell to our towns as we see currently in the USA.
Men and women should surely succeed in business based on their abilities and not receive special privileges because of their sex . Plus ca change . .
In one sense the endlessly belligerent US serves one purpose – it prevents a new world order run by the elites of 3 countries from coming about.
It might yet though.
youss,
Your impressions and statements resonate closely with my own gut feelings about BRICS. I don’t think BRICS is some benevolent force that will save the world from a USA-dominated global police state and bring about a new multi-polar world order of enduring peace and harmony. That’s just how it’s intended to be marketed.
There was an interview with Sergei Glazyev a few years back, wherein he referred dismissively to the BRICS as a being a construction of the big banks from its very genesis. I wish I could find a transcript of this interview now, but I don’t recall at this point where I read it originally.
I feel as though the outline of the Real Plan may include things like provoking an economic and civic crisis in the USA now that it’s been heavily saddled with debt, and then plundering the USA just as for example was done with Greece. Maybe BRICS and China will presented as the Americans’ saviors, coming to the rescue with loans within some new gold-backed system of world currency derived from IMF special drawing rights. The end goal perhaps being the desruction and neutering of any viable nation states, with a cartel of international banks sitting at the very top of a complete global financial and political system, with no remaining force of sufficient strength and organization to oppose that system.
In a separate recent article on this site, the newfangled cryptocurrencies are discussed. I would bet that it’s really the banks again behind Bitcoin and the others, probing and experimenting to find a way towards the elimination of cash and any hope of anonymous transactions. Another sort of experiment along those lines is going on in India right now.
“None may buy or sell without the mark of the beast”, or however it goes…
It is a credible claim which I myself believe is at least partially true that bitcoin was invented under the color of schadenfreude and as a joke on the entire global system, vandalism? In some sense, but it’s just zeros and ones…not chemistry but mathematics…and so what?
(I know some fellas…and they have friends, and that’s what they said in front of me…in a symposium of sorts)
If so, then the joke is not so funny. It’s dynamiting yet another set of institutions. Changing history.
Oh well…
I just thought i answer to your feedback regarding (not only) this brics thing and chinas role especially with some articles from in my opinion one of the best investigative researcher at least in the english speaking hemisphere. in his open source investigations he always points out the sources where you can dig deeper or find even more interesting stuff.
Some history about the brics construct:
https://www.corbettreport.com/phoney-opposition-the-truth-about-the-brics/
‘The idea that there is any such thing as a shared BRICS economic, military or foreign policy is part of the fundamental fraud of the “BRICS” idea itself. The truth is that the BRICS (formerly “BRIC”) are not a coherent or organic grouping of like-minded states at all, but an arbitrary grouping of economies first identified by Goldman Sachs as emerging economies who were all expected to outperform the developed world in the coming decades. It was the BRIC countries that took this Goldman Sachs concept and attempted to make it into a real-world political reality, and the ploy becomes even more obvious when one realizes that the “S” (South Africa) was added not for any rational economic or political reason, but primarily to give the organization a footing in another continent.’
‘The modern era of Sino-American relations famously began with Henry Kissinger’s secret trip to China in 1971 that paved the way for Nixon’s own trip and the renormalization of relations between the two countries. But even that narrative is grossly misleading. It neglects, for example, that Kissinger was a protege of David Rockefeller, whose family had been intimately involved in China since the early part of the 20th century and who “supported” Kissinger’s China initiative, which later resulted in his Chase bank becoming the first US correspondent bank of the National Bank of China.
Regardless, Kissinger’s efforts blended seamlessly into subsequent National Security Advisor Zbigniew Brzezinski’s (also, not coincidentally, a Rockefeller protege and co-founder with David of the Trilateral Commission), and by the end of the decade the death of Mao and rise of Deng Xiaoping created the condition for the “Red Capitalism” that has led to the rise of modern China. This process was overseen by a small cadre of politically connected individuals (known in Chinese as the “Eight Immortals“) whose families still continue to control vast portions of China’s “national” wealth.’
another one about some china history with lots and lots of sources to dig deeper:
https://www.corbettreport.com/episode-297-china-and-the-new-world-order/
“The social experiment in China under Chairman Mao’s leadership is one of the most important and successful in human history.”
(Source: Rockefeller: From A China Traveler (1973)
Regardless which show they play for us sheeple in the foreground in the background they restlessly preparing the one world government under IMF/WHO/WTO/UN rule :
http://theinternationalforecaster.com/topic/international_forecaster_weekly/the_globalist_trade_agreement_you_didnt_hear_about
That is just a tiny tiny tiny fraction of alternative information i looked into over the years regarding the brics topic, put in some logic, common sense, life experience etc. and its obvious that’s just the other side of the same ‘world simulation’ running in the shadows and playing us.
I think they, whoever they really are, are at least planning 40yrs ahead (look how they role out technology only after it’s militarised see: computers,internet,wireless com etc) . i see the same happening regarding our possible world views, what we are able to think etc.
The only difference to the past where religion and pure physical force was the main tool for controlling sheeples mind , with todays power of technology their simulation runs in realtime (including ‘natural’ events like weather etc.) and is adjusted on minute level on every possible layer targeting our perception.
Yes – pls stick to the topic of the post. Any other off-topic comments will go to the trash. Mod
cheers
Putin covered a wide range of topics, but didn’t go into specifics. From what he did state, and the topics he mentioned, I detect Putin is well aware the zpc/nwo are in the beginning of a move to a more aggressive stage and this will have to be addressed and thoroughly countered through better coordination and unity among BRICS members.
Russia is talking about a more rational roadmap to build a more harmonious world.
It is a utopia. Why ? because a more harmonious world will lead to population’s increase, and life’s extension. Both will required more resources in a world which is limited. When the nenuphars will cover the whole lake, they will all die. It is an utopia to believe that the World can grow indefinitively
It is starting from a good intent but Hell is covered with good intents.
Except that when a certain level of well being is achieved, the birth rate falls and societies age, demographically, and lose population….unless something is done to convince them not to sit on their laurels, but find ways to advance.
Your argument is the main basis of The Empire’s World View…and they know that all to many of its victims and dupes will readily adopt that self defeating prejudice and try to convince other victims as well that “resistance is futile”.
I recognize that the Empire’s answer to that issue is typical of a slaves’ driver where the slaves are seen as expandable when Putin’s approach seems much more human.
The first one wants to build a new Jerusalem for the happy few. It is some kind of Calvinist’s view where the world must go through the Apocalypse and the last judgment before the Messiah’s return. The second one is closer to a Jesuit’s view where everybody has been saved by the Christ’s crucifixion and as such is entitled to enter the Paradise. It is a more marketable system but both views are wrong.
Putin’s view is a materialistic approach where man will always find a solution to meet his needs provided the world is not managed by the Empire which propagates looting, division and hate. For him man is not limited.
He should realize that for many years the West was able to fulfill his people’s material needs and yet the West is becoming crazy. So the materialistic approach is not the solution, the people having every thing are becoming sick.
We need a new vision allowing the man to produce the best of himself and not just be bulimic.
Some would argue that Vladimir Putin is more spiritual than you are.
But good luck in your endeavour to create a more enlightened way, that moves the world forward on “The Correct Path”, away from BRICS.
When I understand what it is (besides that obvious element) I may have more to say about it. Any links? Co-thinkers? Books?
Your first paragraph, however, was not a very promising start. I’ve heard that song before.
You say that , for Putin , man is not limited.
But this :- . . . . “I would like to draw your attention to Russia’s initiative on the establishment of a BRICS Energy Research Platform. We believe that this would enable us to coordinate our information, analysis and research activities in the interests of the five BRICS countries and would ultimately facilitate the implementation of joint energy investment projects.” . . . . seems to be explicit recognition that economies are flows of energy, and that economies are limited by that energy flow.
“Putin’s view is a materialistic approach where man will always find a solution to meet his needs “.
There are many who believe this, while acknowledging that man’s needs can be withheld by Mother Nature any old time.
I do not believe that Putin is simple.
But you are correct in saying that a new vision or paradigm is needed . . . . if the goal is the ” greatest good for the greatest number” ; but of course that is not currently the goal.
” a more harmonious world will lead to population’s increase,”
That is a possibility only , other things being equal ; which they never will be.
Moscow hands in note of protest to US over plan to search trade mission in Washington
https://www.rt.com/news/401822-russia-us-mission-summoned/
“We consider the planned illegal search of Russian diplomatic premises in the absence of Russian officials and the threat we have received to break down the door of the building as an aggressive action, which the US intelligence service may use to orchestrate an anti-Russian provocation by planting compromising items,” the statement said.”
That extract describes the sort of mentality BRICS are up against in their israeloamerican foes.
It’s a demonic mentality. It is beyond reasoning with.
This Consular forced intrusion seems to indicate diplomacy is now out the window as far as the US is concerned.
The Russians rightly suspect the search could be used to plant “evidence” incriminating Russia in some way now that “Russiagate” has gotten nowhere.
Actually it has gotten them somewhere. The endless repetition and noise is designed to convince Americans that Russia is an enemy – and millions of them swallow it.
I have never seen another example where a country has invaded the Consular buildings of another country. These buildings and their staff are inviolable and the buildings belong to Russia.
There are clear rules and international laws governing Embassies and their staff.
To me this seems the most serious downward step yet.
Does anyone know of other occasions when an Embassy has been invaded illegally by the host country?
Once that taboo is broken anything can happen. Nothing is sacrosanct.
I am certain that Russia, a stickler for protocols and law as Putin says, will view this extremely seriously.
In the last 9 months the US has nullified the office of President in a coup thus ending forever the pretence at least, that the US was a “democracy” and now the cabal have smashed centuries of respected and vital protocols regarding embassies. Without safe and inviolable embassies how are countries to talk to each other?.
They have gone mad.
It is high time the UN stopped ignoring this dangerous rogue fascist state and started facing up to their responsibilities. The lives of billions of us are in the hands of a few psychopaths who should be locked up.
The UN is a disgrace and should be moved out of the USA to a more neutral location.
At least there is this

maybe putin shoulda had his advisors actually advise him on this, which happened 26th just days before, & he wouldn’t now be looking his usual oblivious look for again not seeing anything coming!
or, maybe once again he just blindly ‘misunderestimated’ the intent of the broadest possible interpretation of this by his ‘partners’, to include DIPLOMATIC ?
Russia, we must remember every moment, has two wars to win.
Judging by the US State Department actions against the RF Foreign Ministry in the US, the American government is setting itself to confront Putin and Russia on every conceivable front everywhere.
Not only is detente impossible. Civil and professional relations at every level of behavior is being abandoned. The neocons, warmongers, Khazarians and Russophobes are at the helm of all US organs of power. They are intent on destroying the Russian Federation. This is unmistakeable. It is impossible to interpret the totality of actions over the last eight months as anything less.
The war in Donbass is now clearly the US vs RF.
The war against terrorists in Syria is morphing into the US vs RF (not just vs Iran).
By raising barriers to diplomacy at every level, the US is indicating they want to win by force of arms in Ukraine and Syria.
They love war and think they can win. There is no timidity in McMaster and Mattis and Kelly. We saw these generals (the same mindset) in Vietnam. This is the US at war. They do not know when they are losing or what their defeat really is.
As long as they have proxy cannon fodder, they will fight. Ukies and NATO in Ukraine and Wahhabi crazies in Syria fit the bill.
Putin will have to manage these wars for another 1.5 years, at least. His strategy is to fight them as reservedly as possible. He has proxies in both wars, too, which frustrates the US. They really want to inflict losses directly on the RF military.
The manifest hatred (and underlying fear) the US government spews daily at the RF is deeply psychotic. There is no other way to analyze the words and actions of the Hegemon’s cadre. They suffer a mental illness.
@L445
Agree with everything you said and I would like to add couple of things. In my opinion the biggest so called Russophobes are really Russohaters and vast majority of them are the Polish-Ukro-Russian khazars. They change their names but they can’t hide.
They have lost their minds.
Where is the UN condeming this? and Trump wants to go to the UN and talk about reforms? The first step is to remove the UN from US soil once and for all.
Larch445 :
I seriously respect your comments and agree.
To state the obvious, the effect of the infestation of the neo cons in the admin is very concerning-it is impossible to analyze their psychotic, their evil, their pychopathic behavior, all without any evident fear of consequences.
I offer this link, which I posted earlier, for your information-you may have seen it already but to my mind, it is a fair assessment as to how deep and how serious the neo cons’ infestation has become.

Competition is good. It does not necessarily make for “adversaries.” The World Banks of the west will survive, or have to learn to survive a little healthy competition.
possibly these kind of articles are telling of someone big in-the-know front-running knowledge of what’s in thjs BRICS meeting minutes agenda?
maybe china is going to get rid of some of their squillion $ horde of us treasonys by buying not just mining companies, but whole countries (chile)?
or will they pave the old silk road with copper (doesn’t rust–just gets a protective outer coating of copper oxide built up dull but prevents further deterioration)
BUT, China has been growing like the beanstalk for 20+ years now, so why does copper priced $usd been skying 50% from 2.10 to 3.11 just since last year?
why have lead & zinc been lagging, despite nickel now joining copper—zinc is used in thousands of industrial processes, altho lead i can see low demand toxic, not in gas for 2 decades now, etc!
safehaven.com/article/44694/not-all-base-metals-want-to-join-the-bull-party
Aluminum, copper and zinc have moved in a solid bullish manner. While nickel has joined these three base metals, tin and lead seems to be more reticent to join the bull party.
this guy says it’s foretelling a severe us dollar drop–ghost of Allende revenge after 45 years?

i think this bizarre report out of breitbart is correct on what is going on with the Don, & how this is going on right under his nose.
remember there’s the other 2 big names near him, too—matti & mcmaster.
looks like engdahl was right on all along his articles from before last nov election warning most dire about the orchestrated well funded clown parade that got this guy in.
The Great Orange Hope LOL.
warnings were clear: he is above all a BANKRUPTCY expert, & his job is to renege on all us gov/FED debt bonds outstanding, & just walk away thumbing his nose at his creditors just as he did in his many corporate BKs, which of course includes china &……russia!

Never mind having NGO’s register in the R F . Throw them all out. Period! as retaliation for the latest American move.
Did Ukraine barter anything with North Korea if it is true they sold their missile tech to North Korea.?
That would be absolutely hilarious, if true. Who would have imagined the West’s most devout dungheads selling nuclear weapon technology to the DPRK? Verdict: Be that as it may — if the DPRK really had to get the know-how from abroad at all, then it was a very classy act by whoever provided it. It’s just wonderful listening to the MSM and their retarded “analyses” about the DPRK as the latter shows that it takes national independence ‘quite seriously’.
Long story short: Putin is on point as usual in his assessment to the effect that
“Russia believes that the policy of putting pressure on Pyongyang to stop its nuclear missile programme is misguided and futile.”
Indeed, it wouldn’t just have been misguided and futile but morally bankrupt as well. Standing up to the world’s most blood-thirsty, life-hating Empire ever after having been utterly destroyed by its barbarous bombing campaigns and then also seen what happened to countries and peoples with less vigilant leaderships trying to reason with these abominable psychopaths should make the DPRK the champion of resistance. It has resisted the will of the West’s mass-murderers as only a few others have.
N
When dealing with cowardly, delusional insaniacs, best invoke their fears. DPRK is doing this.
