On July 6 and 7, Brazil will host the BRICS Summit meeting at the Museum of Modern Art (MAM) in the city of Rio de Janeiro (RJ). The group that brings together Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa (named after) has grown with the inclusion of Saudi Arabia, Egypt, United Arab Emirates, Ethiopia, Indonesia and Iran, having eleven members.
Despite adding greater relevance, the Brazilian presidency of the block has not been able to articulate relevant guidelines of common interest. This is what the economist Paulo Nogueira Batista Júnior evaluates in the video: “The Brazilian presidency of the BRICS will fail? ”
As states, the “Brazilian presidency, unfortunately, is being shy, not inventive. There is no government mobilization, including not only the ministers and teams, but also from the President of the Republic that could be more engaged.”

In your assessment, it is a pity that this happens, as decisions in BRICS can have “effect on the economic, political and worldwide situation, if they act together.” But for this to happen, it indicates, it is essential to present proposals and the pressure for achievements.
However, this is not what is happening. Proof of this, he explains, is the date of the summit in the middle of the year, which he considers to be a symptom of “weakness.”
“By marking the summit for early July, the Brazilian government, in fact, risks reducing the Brazilian presidency effectively one semester. It is possible to circumvent this limitation and give Brazil more time to organize a deeper discussion by the end of 2025. There are ways, for example, marking a series of ministers’, central bank presidents, secretaries and heads in the second semester. From the BRICS leaders on the occasion of the G20 summit, which will take place in South Africa in November. ”
According to the economist, this would be an opportunity to be realized by the country: “I hope Brazil is still mobilizing to avoid wasting the opportunity to preside over the BRICS at such a special time.”
