Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov participated in the meeting of BRICS foreign ministers, convened on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly High-level Week. As per established practice, the meeting was organised by the Indian side as the forthcoming chair of the group.
The ministers had a substantive exchange of views on a broad range of pressing international issues, including the agenda of the 80th Session of the UN General Assembly. They deliberated on matters related to the maintenance of peace and security, reforming the global governance system to enhance the representation of developing countries therein, and promoting sustainable development. The participants reaffirmed their commitment to bolstering coordination within BRICS across international platforms, grounded in the group's commitment to multilateral principles and the goal of shaping a more equitable world order centred on the United Nations and anchored in international law.
Sergey Lavrov underscored the significance of jointly implementing practical initiatives launched during the Russian and Brazilian chairmanships, including the establishment of a new investment platform, the BRICS cross-border payment initiative, depository and clearing infrastructure, a reinsurance mechanism, and a BRICS grain exchange.
A joint communiqué was adopted following the meeting.
