[00:00:46] has concluded the 18th summit of the BRICS Plus group, focusing on
[00:00:51] quality equipment, as is the case of key themes. On the one hand, highlighting the role played by the Global South, we will talk about the
[00:00:54] scenarios and what this means in geopolitical
[00:00:57] terms. Let's begin.
[00:01:09] For this reason, we propose to display our map, identify
[00:01:12] some key data about this
[00:01:14] other mechanisms, but with BRICS resolution in New Delhi. Let's unfold
[00:01:18] our world map, let's identify
[00:01:21] India with the colors of its flag. On the 12th and
[00:01:25] 13th of this month, this 18th BRICS summit was held
[00:01:28] in New Delhi, under the motto of building
[00:01:31] resilience, innovation, collaboration and
[00:01:34] sustainability. An event held at the Vigyan Bhavan
[00:01:38] Convention Centre. It must be said that the leaders
[00:01:41] of 11 member countries of BRICS were also
[00:01:45] present, 10 new ones
[00:01:48] under the denomination, it must be said, of BRICS plus and the
[00:01:52] international
[00:01:53] a change of positions in organization. Among the innovative agreements and proposals
[00:01:56] are the activation of an integrated early warning system
[00:02:00] against diseases and catastrophes, the launch of the
[00:02:03] BRICS Connected platform for vocational training and social
[00:02:07] protection, along with a cooperation portal for small and
[00:02:11] political will combined with medium-sized enterprises, the creation also of an integrated
[00:02:13] market focused on intelligent production,
[00:02:17] including an open access zone to artificial intelligence
[00:02:20] technologies, promoting a shared model against Western private
[00:02:24] property. If we talk about the internal trade of BRICS, which already
[00:02:28] exceeds 1.2 trillion dollars, which led the bloc to
[00:02:31] propose joint maritime reinsurance against
[00:02:35] unilateral sanctions. In addition, a financial platform based on
[00:02:38] digital assets has been proposed for the New Development
[00:02:42] Bank. The entity has financed 123
[00:02:45] projects worth almost 40 billion dollars, prioritizing
[00:02:49] investment in basic infrastructure and energy transition. The
[00:02:53] bloc has highlighted the importance of the Suez Canal to guarantee the
[00:02:56] stability and continuity of global supply chains.
[00:03:00] In addition, as a complement to this route, the government of Iran
[00:03:03] has offered its geopolitical location and its energy infrastructure to
[00:03:07] articulate new commercial corridors, consolidating itself as a
[00:03:10] vital element for the economic resilience of this
[00:03:14] group. What does this
[00:03:16] represent for a geopolitical
[00:03:19] analysis? Today we
[00:03:42] stood out, especially in this very important meeting
[00:03:45] in the midst of the development of global conflicts. It must be said, on the one hand there is the
[00:03:49] war unleashed by the United States and Israel in Western Asia,
[00:03:52] pointing to Iran, the conflict with the Ukrainian crisis, also the
[00:03:56] genocide in Palestine and these tensions that also
[00:04:00] increase between Yemen and Saudi
[00:04:02] But the important thing here, beyond Arabia, to mention a few examples. The
[00:04:04] the trend, I think, BRICS have put several points on the table, let's start
[00:04:07] by analyzing part of them, why highlight the
[00:04:10] role of the global South, what does this New Delhi
[00:04:14] declaration
[00:04:16] represent at this moment?
[00:04:18] Well, first I would say that the global South, if it
[00:04:21] materializes as you handle power,
[00:04:24] it means more than half of the planet and much
[00:04:27] more of the population.
[00:04:30] Today we are, we are a kind of periphery of the
[00:04:34] West in Latin America, but the expanded West is
[00:04:38] much less than the sum of the global South, or
[00:04:42] in other words, inter-Asian economy.
[00:04:45] Second, if this materializes with a
[00:04:49] territorial modification in the situation of exchange, of changes, sorry, and of foreign trade that does not
[00:04:51] use the dollar as common
[00:04:54] currency,
[00:04:56] it represents
[00:04:58] the concrete fact that the United States is in
[00:05:02] decline, facing a global economic
[00:05:06] hegemony. Finally, not to belabor the point, it must
[00:05:09] materialize beyond speeches. Position is
[00:05:13] very important, but for example, Emirates is
[00:05:16] a member of BRICS, Saudi Arabia was an observer.
[00:05:19] The position of these two countries is very aligned with
[00:05:23] Israel and the United States. If they change their position, their way of
[00:05:26] doing politics and they make
[00:05:29] a neatening of their businesses in the plan of
[00:05:33] not accessing the foreign policy of the United States,
[00:05:36] it means a profound change, and I highlight the
[00:05:39] inter-intra-Asian trade, it is more
[00:05:42] important than what is in the world today if it is organized outside the
[00:05:46] dollar. Now, in the midst of all this scenario,
[00:05:50] Bruno, we need to talk about the recognitions held by one of the
[00:05:54] most important groups. President Vladimir Putin, at the beginning of the Economic
[00:05:57] Forum, a prelude to this 18th summit, spoke
[00:06:01] about the growth of the gross domestic product of member countries, more than
[00:06:04] 40%. He said we have surpassed the G7, but not
[00:06:08] only in statistical numbers, but also in the
[00:06:11] scope of innovation. Technology,
[00:06:14] cooperation and what will also open up further, we are
[00:06:18] truly at the doors of a monetary
[00:06:21] restructuring, because we have the International Monetary Fund and
[00:06:27] the trade of local currencies, with this deeper exchange,
[00:06:31] with a resilience, if you will, of markets, we are
[00:06:34] envisioning other types of scenarios.
[00:06:38] I think so, I think that ultimately,
[00:06:41] definitively. We are seeing a
[00:06:44] situation that changes the scenario and I
[00:06:47] insist, the inter-Asian trade in the
[00:06:51] relationship of the Asian economy led by China, but not
[00:06:54] only China, with 40
[00:06:58] something of the 53 African countries, and a
[00:07:02] possibility for
[00:07:05] Latin America, which is why it is very favorable to the United
[00:07:09] States, to be able to access markets.
[00:07:12] important, to make contracts that do not involve the use of the
[00:07:16] dollar, which implies making joint ventures and industrial
[00:07:20] development together with China, for example, the situation is
[00:07:23] very impressive, although for us in
[00:07:27] Latin America everything is very far away, because we are used to
[00:07:30] looking at Asia as a market where we sell grains
[00:07:34] and minerals, but let's understand, Russia
[00:07:37] has 98%
[00:07:41] of its internal trade among BRICS members
[00:07:45] outside the dollar, 98%. Saudi Arabia has
[00:07:49] 65% of its trade with China outside the
[00:07:52] dollar, the mechanism is there, the growth is there.
[00:07:56] Today, I would say that Washington has to promote an economic
[00:07:59] encirclement of China, I don't know if it can, and a war of
[00:08:02] attrition, that it does have the capacity for, from
[00:08:05] countries like Japan, that's what it has to do, otherwise it will
[00:08:09] lose. This
[00:08:13] also helps us understand the next steps, the scenarios that
[00:08:16] seem to be, moreover, accelerating. What does this
[00:08:19] represent in the midst of so much pressure, of
[00:08:23] also using the dollar as a mechanism of blackmail and especially
[00:08:27] the so-called sanctions, these unilateral coercive measures with a
[00:08:30] tariff policy that the occupant of the White House is also
[00:08:34] trying to implement with even greater force in this second administration? Let's
[00:08:38] also analyze these other axes that have been addressed within this 18th
[00:09:00] Through the web portal of our informative multiplatform
[00:09:03] Telesur, we will share with you the
[00:09:06] position of the BRICS Plus group. This is the
[00:09:10] headline from our news outlet, Hamas. welcomes the BRICS' support
[00:09:14] for the Palestinian people's inalienable rights. The Palestinian resistance
[00:09:17] axis welcomed on Sunday the positions adopted by the BRICS countries
[00:09:20] in support of the legitimate and inalienable rights of the Palestinian
[00:09:24] people, after having issued their New Delhi declaration during the
[00:09:28] development of the summit, where the document also
[00:09:32] adopted that reaffirmation, that
[00:09:35] BRICS support for the right of the Palestinian people to self-
[00:09:37] determination and return, as well as the
[00:09:40] creation of an independent and sovereign Palestinian state within its
[00:09:44] borders, those of 1967, with
[00:09:47] Al-Quds as Jerusalem as its capital. The declaration also
[00:09:51] expressed support for Palestine's full accession to the United Nations and rejected the
[00:09:54] forced displacement of hundreds of thousands of people, as well as any
[00:09:58] demographic or
[00:10:01] coastal enclave.
[00:10:33] The struggle for the emancipation of Central America lasted for
[00:10:36] almost a decade. The process began with the first
[00:10:40] uprising in El Salvador on November 5,
[00:10:43] 1811, and culminated on September 15,
[00:10:47] 1821, when Guatemala,
[00:10:50] Honduras, El Salvador, Costa Rica, and Nicaragua
[00:10:53] signed the Act of Independence of Central America, the day
[00:10:57] that region officially broke its ties with
[00:11:01] the Spanish Crown. September 15,
[00:11:03] 1821, Independence Day of
[00:11:07] Central America.
[00:11:12] As every year, the United Nations headquarters receives world
[00:11:16] leaders for its high-level week, amid the international debate on the
[00:11:19] transformation of multilateral organizations so that they
[00:11:23] act in favor of the majorities. for equity in decision-making,
[00:11:26] they should truly influence respect for the
[00:11:29] self-determination of peoples and international law. Telesur
[00:11:33] is providing special coverage of this important event with our special
[00:11:36] envoy, Jorge Gestoso, and our
[00:11:39] correspondents in the United States, José Leveña and
[00:11:43] Henry Camelo. 81st session
[00:11:46] of the United Nations General Assembly
[00:11:48] 2026, through our
[00:11:51] multiplatform. Only on Telesur.
[00:12:42] Let's add another element for the analysis through the photograph.
[00:12:45] Those you see there are, of course, the members of the BRICS Plus group
[00:12:49] at this meeting that was held in New Delhi as part of this
[00:12:52] 18th summit. Very much hand
[00:12:56] in hand, the President of Russia Vladimir Putin, his Chinese counterpart
[00:12:59] Xi Jinping, and the Prime Minister of India, the host, Narendra Modi. It must
[00:13:03] be said that the leaders have described their participation in the development of this
[00:13:06] meeting as successful. For example, the President of the Russian Federation
[00:13:10] denounced that more than 30,000 sanctions weigh against his country
[00:13:13] and proposed creating an economic platform outside of the West,
[00:13:17] highlighting that the bloc already represents more than 40% of global GDP and
[00:13:21] generates 50% of world growth. Recently, facing
[00:13:25] 29% of GDP and 18% of G7
[00:13:28] growth, he also proposed increasing trade with India from
[00:13:32] 70 billion to 100 billion dollars by 2030,
[00:13:35] despite threats from the United States to impose 10% tariffs
[00:13:39] for aligning with BRICS and 100% for buying Russian
[00:13:43] hydrocarbons. Chinese President Xi Jinping also promoted
[00:13:46] governance and innovation proposals and met with the Prime Minister of India, Narendra
[00:13:50] Modi. Both agreed that their countries should be partners and
[00:13:54] not adversaries. China, let's remember, accumulates close to
[00:13:57] 126.4 billion dollars in 186
[00:14:01] agreements this year and expects to reach 3.6
[00:14:05] trillion in foreign investment by next year, when it will also
[00:14:08] chair the mechanism and host the
[00:14:11] BRICS summit within this rotating
[00:14:14] presidency.
[00:14:23] Many elements within the photo.
[00:14:27] the positions we have been analyzing, Bruno, is what
[00:14:30] the future holds. China assumes the rotating presidency of the
[00:14:34] BRICS group and will do so with a clear commitment or challenge: that
[00:14:37] everything agreed upon in this 18th summit of the
[00:14:40] BRICS group held in New Delhi
[00:14:43] can be materialized. These are also challenges framed by the
[00:14:47] events that come hand in hand with these sanctions, as we
[00:14:50] mentioned before the break, coercive measures,
[00:14:54] imposition. of tariffs, that is, there is a brake that
[00:14:57] BRICS is putting on this Western policy. How
[00:15:01] could this be reversed and how could it
[00:15:10] hard way, BRICS could, for
[00:15:13] example, significantly expand
[00:15:16] its trade with the Islamic Republic of Iran. It is already expanding,
[00:15:20] but expanding even more, from... Iran will
[00:15:23] play an important part in supporting external allies, such
[00:15:27] as the resistance in Palestine, in
[00:15:31] Iraq, what remained in Syria, in Lebanon, in...
[00:15:33] This is one part, another, a quite evident
[00:15:38] policy that could
[00:15:41] prevent the passage of commercial
[00:15:44] ships through
[00:15:48] Bab-el-Mandeb and Hormuz. Today, Bab-el-Mandeb is under
[00:15:51] the control of Yemen and Hormuz is under
[00:15:55] binational control of Iran and
[00:15:58] Oman. This is at the limit, but I understand
[00:16:01] that with the economic rearguard developing
[00:16:05] and an incentive for inter-BRICS
[00:16:09] economic relations that do not pass through the dollar
[00:16:12] axis, the position is already there, which
[00:16:16] can generate enormous defense capability
[00:16:20] among countries. And finally, joint
[00:16:23] development of low-cost
[00:16:25] and very high-
[00:16:28] Iran's military logistics. It can be
[00:16:31] developed with binational, trinational,
[00:16:35] intra-BRICS multilateral projects.
[00:16:37] All this implies a very significant military power in the medium
[00:16:41] term. Now this also has weight within the
[00:16:45] development of conflicts, there is a very marked encounter that
[00:16:48] can also perhaps change the course not only of diplomatic
[00:16:51] and bilateral relations, but also stop a
[00:16:54] possible escalation. When you talk about this Strait of Bab-el-Mandeb
[00:16:58] in the Red Sea, it has a lot to do with it, I would like us to review this other
[00:17:17] This is an excerpt from the statement made by the Prime Minister of India,
[00:17:21] host, also of what has been this 18th summit of the BRICS
[00:17:24] Plus group. Pandemics, says Narendra
[00:17:28] Modi, climate disasters and disruptions in supply chains have
[00:17:31] shown that in today's interconnected world, no
[00:17:34] crisis remains confined to a single region. We may
[00:17:38] face different realities, but we can move forward together through
[00:17:41] cooperation to drive the progress of
[00:17:43] humanity.
[00:17:50] Bruno, perhaps we can transfer this to an event that took place
[00:17:54] during this summit, which may have gone
[00:17:57] unnoticed, this rapprochement between the Iranian
[00:18:00] President, Massoud Pezeshkian, and the Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi, amidst
[00:18:04] escalating tensions between Yemen and Saudi Arabia. Let's remember that
[00:18:08] Saudi Arabia is also one of the countries that produces
[00:18:11] large quantities of oil, that also
[00:18:14] has a relationship with the United States, which champions the
[00:18:17] Palestinian cause, but at the same time, there is an attempt to create an
[00:18:21] internal implosion within this region of Western Asia to fulfill,
[00:18:25] of course, a strategy, a plan. What to say about this point
[00:18:29] when Pezeshkian says that we must forget the past and work for
[00:18:33] a future? How viable is this in the midst of all this scenario? When you
[00:18:37] mentioned this Strait of Bab-el-Mandeb, which is also one of the key
[00:18:40] straits in the position of Ansarullah?
[00:18:42] That's
[00:18:47] the big question because if the monarchs
[00:18:50] of Saudi Arabia and
[00:18:53] the federation of Emirates that form the United Arab
[00:18:57] Emirates align with a
[00:19:00] foreign policy, I won't say integration into the axis of
[00:19:04] resistance, but at least non- aggression. There
[00:19:18] is, because today Yemen has the
[00:19:20] incredible capacity to cause damage. The
[00:19:24] largest oil export company in the world is Saudi
[00:19:27] Aramco. A drone from Yemen costs very little,
[00:19:31] but an operation at a Saudi Aramco refinery costs
[00:19:35] a lot, a lot, a lot, yes. And there is a bit of
[00:19:38] rationality within
[00:19:41] it's a pretty significant defeat, where
[00:19:45] Iran's position of strength can be imposed
[00:19:48] over the secondary
[00:19:51] wills of these monarchs. An important
[00:19:54] article came out today explaining that
[00:19:58] they spend dozens
[00:20:00] of billions of dollars on military
[00:20:04] equipment, but they don't have a military, because they don't control the
[00:20:07] logistics chain. If they did, it would be
[00:20:11] different.
[00:20:12] This
[00:20:16] also converges into a key fact, no, the
[00:20:19] future of what this hydrocarbon supply chain will be,
[00:20:22] Bruno, and how it can especially impact
[00:20:26] or reorder or reconfigure what this
[00:20:29] global energy map is. We already see that new
[00:20:32] niches are being converted, being sought, the African continent,
[00:20:36] Latin America that... could also become perhaps a response
[00:20:40] to these
[00:20:54] pre-agreement was made between Iran and
[00:20:57] Kyrgyzstan, it took place in Bishkek, capital of
[00:21:00] Kyrgyzstan, at a parallel meeting between the president
[00:21:04] of Iran and the president of
[00:21:07] Kyrgyzstan. Iran has bilateral agreements
[00:21:10] with more than 10 Central Asian
[00:21:13] countries.
[00:21:15] The economic development capacity of these countries, because they are not
[00:21:19] directly threatened by military intervention by the United States
[00:21:22] directly or indirectly, as we suffer
[00:21:26] in Latin America, is very different,
[00:21:29] so relations with Africa and with Central
[00:21:32] Asia have a tendency to be
[00:21:35] more productive than ours in
[00:21:39] Latin America.
[00:21:42] This also encompasses what will be the challenge for the future.
[00:21:46] What do you think should be put on the table for the next summit
[00:21:50] when these countries meet, which not only include the founders,
[00:21:53] but also the new partners or associated countries that also
[00:21:57] have a responsibility and weight
[00:22:00] to face this type of reality? We are talking
[00:22:03] about trade, about the transformation of balances,
[00:22:07] and with that also what it means to perhaps face
[00:22:10] a power like the United States regarding
[00:22:14] its imposition proposals. That is,
[00:22:18] something is changing the world at this moment. We are facing new
[00:22:22] rules of the game. How to understand it?
[00:22:25] I think so, I think that the Asian countries that
[00:22:29] have sovereignty, reverse engineering,
[00:22:32] logistical capacity, integration among neighbors,
[00:22:35] today have full capacity to confront the
[00:22:39] imperialism of the United States. They inaugurated
[00:22:42] a new doctrine of defensive, offensive war with
[00:22:46] asymmetrical conventional equipment and they are...
[00:22:51] winning. The United States has no capacity for invasion.
[00:22:54] Nobody that is not in Latin America. I don't believe anyone in Latin America can invade.
[00:22:58] The
[00:23:01] logistical engineering capabilities and a financial
[00:23:05] architecture that does not involve the dollar changes the
[00:23:08] balance of world power and leaves us less hostage, I would
[00:23:12] say, to imperialism. In itself, Latin America has an
[00:23:16] opportunity to get closer to BRICS or continue being a colony, a
[00:23:19] protectorate. The option lies in the national interests
[00:23:23] of our countries, without a doubt. There are the guidelines and
[00:23:27] a geopolitical reading of what this eighth summit of the BRICS
[00:23:30] Plus group has been, also amidst all these global conflicts
[00:23:34] and the very clear positions that the heads of state and
[00:23:38] leaders have been warning about, as never before from China, India,
[00:23:42] Russia, Iran, which I think have had an
[00:23:45] unparalleled weight in the development of this meeting in New Delhi. We will have to
[00:23:49] see the results and how this materializes, since China
[00:23:52] has assumed the rotating
[00:24:20] about the global South. BRICS has maintained its focus on practical
[00:24:24] cooperation and development-oriented results, which will
[00:24:28] undoubtedly improve the lives of people. Therefore, at this 18th
[00:24:32] summit, they have drawn a new roadmap for global governance reform and
[00:24:35] established an emergency support network to help
[00:24:39] people in dangerous situations around the world.
[00:24:43] This is also very much related to the climate crisis. Two
[00:24:47] sanctions. To this end, the use of this new
[00:24:50] BRICS development bank has been promoted as a key strategic mechanism to
[00:24:54] finance projects in emerging economies, without depending on the
[00:24:57] conditions or blockades of the traditional financial system, yes, the one
