We Are Ready to Build a New World, Says Maduro

There is another America, alternative to the US, where peace reigns, Nicolas Maduro added.

"There is another America, the peaceful America, consisting of men and women aspiring for freedom and equality. There is the non-colonial America. This is our America. And we are telling the rest of the planet that we are ready to build a new world," President Maduro highlighted in Kazan.

The 16th BRICS Summit, the key event of Russia’s chairmanship in the association, is being held in Kazan on October 22-24.

The BRICS group was founded in 2006 by Brazil, Russia, India, and China, with South Africa joining it in 2011. On January 1, 2024, Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates, became its full-fledged members.

The Kazan summit will be the first to be attended by the new members of the association. Representatives of over 30 countries are expected to take part.
