The BRICS Media and Think Tank High-Level Forum was held on July 16 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, with over 250 representatives from nearly 150 media, think tanks, government agencies, and enterprises across the 36 BRICS member states and partner countries attending.
Themed “Co-Creating the Future of BRICS, Writing a New Chapter for the Global South,” the forum was jointly hosted by Xinhua News Agency and the Brazilian Communications Company. It marked the seventh plenary meeting under the BRICS media and think tank mechanism and the first since BRICS’ historic expansion. The forum released a report titled “BRICS Cooperation Promotes United Progress for the Global South” and launched initiatives to strengthen media and think tank cooperation as well as the content co-creation project “Knocking on BRICS, Listening to the South.”
Participants highlighted that BRICS is increasingly a key channel for Global South solidarity and global governance reform. The BRICS media and think tanks provide a solid platform for the “common voice of the Global South”: creating synergy in the international public opinion arena, consolidating the “BRICS Consensus,” amplifying the “Voice of the South,” and contributing wisdom to the growth of the “Great BRICS” and the Global South.
