16th BRICS Summit in Kazan, Russia

Russia’s Federation Council Speaker Valentina Matviyenko (left) sent out a timely reminder on her Telegram channel that the BRICS Summit, not US elections, will determine the course of history. I, for one, agree.

For those who still rely on Western press for their news and therefore, have developed a distorted view of BRICS, kindly know that they are an association of states that work together, based on common values, a common vision of development and, most importantly, the principle of taking into account each other's interests.

In truth, that describes "multipolarity". And that is what BRICS are all about. The unipolar world of American imperialism is dying. And so, it is not incorrect to say that a new world order is in the making. 

From October 22 to 24, the 16th BRICS Summit is held in Kazan, Russia. This marks the first in-person gathering of BRICS leaders after the historic expansion of the "BRICS family".

This "Greater BRICS" is an express train of development for the Global South. But it can be said that the BRICS are more than just an economic juggernaut; they are asserting themselves as a viable alternative to the historical dominance of Western countries.

Interestingly, UN Secretary-General António Guterres (right) is in Kazan too. Methinks, he's there is because the BRICS Summit is too big an event to be ignored. He knows he needs to be on the ground to know what's happening – so that he can report back to the powers that be. 😉😉 

And just in case anybody is wondering, "No", Russia is not isolated. Far from it. The BRICS Summit has already exposed the West's barefaced lie!
