00:00:46has concluded the 18th summit of the BRICS Plus group, focusing on
00:00:51quality 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
00:00:54scenarios and what this means in geopolitical
00:00:57terms. Let's begin.
00:01:09For this reason, we propose to display our map, identify
00:01:12some key data about this
00:01:14other mechanisms, but with BRICS resolution in New Delhi. Let's unfold
00:01:18our world map, let's identify
00:01:21India with the colors of its flag. On the 12th and
00:01:2513th of this month, this 18th BRICS summit was held
00:01:28in New Delhi, under the motto of building
00:01:31resilience, innovation, collaboration and
00:01:34sustainability. An event held at the Vigyan Bhavan
00:01:38Convention Centre. It must be said that the leaders
00:01:41of 11 member countries of BRICS were also
00:01:45present, 10 new ones
00:01:48under the denomination, it must be said, of BRICS plus and the
00:01:52international
00:01:53a change of positions in organization. Among the innovative agreements and proposals
00:01:56are the activation of an integrated early warning system
00:02:00against diseases and catastrophes, the launch of the
00:02:03BRICS Connected platform for vocational training and social
00:02:07protection, along with a cooperation portal for small and
00:02:11political will combined with medium-sized enterprises, the creation also of an integrated
00:02:13market focused on intelligent production,
00:02:17including an open access zone to artificial intelligence
00:02:20technologies, promoting a shared model against Western private
00:02:24property. If we talk about the internal trade of BRICS, which already
00:02:28exceeds 1.2 trillion dollars, which led the bloc to
00:02:31propose joint maritime reinsurance against
00:02:35unilateral sanctions. In addition, a financial platform based on
00:02:38digital assets has been proposed for the New Development
00:02:42Bank. The entity has financed 123
00:02:45projects worth almost 40 billion dollars, prioritizing
00:02:49investment in basic infrastructure and energy transition. The
00:02:53bloc has highlighted the importance of the Suez Canal to guarantee the
00:02:56stability and continuity of global supply chains.
00:03:00In addition, as a complement to this route, the government of Iran
00:03:03has offered its geopolitical location and its energy infrastructure to
00:03:07articulate new commercial corridors, consolidating itself as a
00:03:10vital element for the economic resilience of this
00:03:14group. What does this
00:03:16represent for a geopolitical
00:03:19analysis? Today we
00:03:42stood out, especially in this very important meeting
00:03:45in the midst of the development of global conflicts. It must be said, on the one hand there is the
00:03:49war unleashed by the United States and Israel in Western Asia,
00:03:52pointing to Iran, the conflict with the Ukrainian crisis, also the
00:03:56genocide in Palestine and these tensions that also
00:04:00increase between Yemen and Saudi
00:04:02But the important thing here, beyond Arabia, to mention a few examples. The
00:04:04the trend, I think, BRICS have put several points on the table, let's start
00:04:07by analyzing part of them, why highlight the
00:04:10role of the global South, what does this New Delhi
00:04:14declaration
00:04:16represent at this moment?
00:04:18Well, first I would say that the global South, if it
00:04:21materializes as you handle power,
00:04:24it means more than half of the planet and much
00:04:27more of the population.
00:04:30Today we are, we are a kind of periphery of the
00:04:34West in Latin America, but the expanded West is
00:04:38much less than the sum of the global South, or
00:04:42in other words, inter-Asian economy.
00:04:45Second, if this materializes with a
00:04:49territorial modification in the situation of exchange, of changes, sorry, and of foreign trade that does not
00:04:51use the dollar as common
00:04:54currency,
00:04:56it represents
00:04:58the concrete fact that the United States is in
00:05:02decline, facing a global economic
00:05:06hegemony. Finally, not to belabor the point, it must
00:05:09materialize beyond speeches. Position is
00:05:13very important, but for example, Emirates is
00:05:16a member of BRICS, Saudi Arabia was an observer.
00:05:19The position of these two countries is very aligned with
00:05:23Israel and the United States. If they change their position, their way of
00:05:26doing politics and they make
00:05:29a neatening of their businesses in the plan of
00:05:33not accessing the foreign policy of the United States,
00:05:36it means a profound change, and I highlight the
00:05:39inter-intra-Asian trade, it is more
00:05:42important than what is in the world today if it is organized outside the
00:05:46dollar. Now, in the midst of all this scenario,
00:05:50Bruno, we need to talk about the recognitions held by one of the
00:05:54most important groups. President Vladimir Putin, at the beginning of the Economic
00:05:57Forum, a prelude to this 18th summit, spoke
00:06:01about the growth of the gross domestic product of member countries, more than
00:06:0440%. He said we have surpassed the G7, but not
00:06:08only in statistical numbers, but also in the
00:06:11scope of innovation. Technology,
00:06:14cooperation and what will also open up further, we are
00:06:18truly at the doors of a monetary
00:06:21restructuring, because we have the International Monetary Fund and
00:06:27the trade of local currencies, with this deeper exchange,
00:06:31with a resilience, if you will, of markets, we are
00:06:34envisioning other types of scenarios.
00:06:38I think so, I think that ultimately,
00:06:41definitively. We are seeing a
00:06:44situation that changes the scenario and I
00:06:47insist, the inter-Asian trade in the
00:06:51relationship of the Asian economy led by China, but not
00:06:54only China, with 40
00:06:58something of the 53 African countries, and a
00:07:02possibility for
00:07:05Latin America, which is why it is very favorable to the United
00:07:09States, to be able to access markets.
00:07:12important, to make contracts that do not involve the use of the
00:07:16dollar, which implies making joint ventures and industrial
00:07:20development together with China, for example, the situation is
00:07:23very impressive, although for us in
00:07:27Latin America everything is very far away, because we are used to
00:07:30looking at Asia as a market where we sell grains
00:07:34and minerals, but let's understand, Russia
00:07:37has 98%
00:07:41of its internal trade among BRICS members
00:07:45outside the dollar, 98%. Saudi Arabia has
00:07:4965% of its trade with China outside the
00:07:52dollar, the mechanism is there, the growth is there.
00:07:56Today, I would say that Washington has to promote an economic
00:07:59encirclement of China, I don't know if it can, and a war of
00:08:02attrition, that it does have the capacity for, from
00:08:05countries like Japan, that's what it has to do, otherwise it will
00:08:09lose. This
00:08:13also helps us understand the next steps, the scenarios that
00:08:16seem to be, moreover, accelerating. What does this
00:08:19represent in the midst of so much pressure, of
00:08:23also using the dollar as a mechanism of blackmail and especially
00:08:27the so-called sanctions, these unilateral coercive measures with a
00:08:30tariff policy that the occupant of the White House is also
00:08:34trying to implement with even greater force in this second administration? Let's
00:08:38also analyze these other axes that have been addressed within this 18th
00:09:00Through the web portal of our informative multiplatform
00:09:03Telesur, we will share with you the
00:09:06position of the BRICS Plus group. This is the
00:09:10headline from our news outlet, Hamas. welcomes the BRICS' support
00:09:14for the Palestinian people's inalienable rights. The Palestinian resistance
00:09:17axis welcomed on Sunday the positions adopted by the BRICS countries
00:09:20in support of the legitimate and inalienable rights of the Palestinian
00:09:24people, after having issued their New Delhi declaration during the
00:09:28development of the summit, where the document also
00:09:32adopted that reaffirmation, that
00:09:35BRICS support for the right of the Palestinian people to self-
00:09:37determination and return, as well as the
00:09:40creation of an independent and sovereign Palestinian state within its
00:09:44borders, those of 1967, with
00:09:47Al-Quds as Jerusalem as its capital. The declaration also
00:09:51expressed support for Palestine's full accession to the United Nations and rejected the
00:09:54forced displacement of hundreds of thousands of people, as well as any
00:09:58demographic or
00:10:01coastal enclave.
00:10:33The struggle for the emancipation of Central America lasted for
00:10:36almost a decade. The process began with the first
00:10:40uprising in El Salvador on November 5,
00:10:431811, and culminated on September 15,
00:10:471821, when Guatemala,
00:10:50Honduras, El Salvador, Costa Rica, and Nicaragua
00:10:53signed the Act of Independence of Central America, the day
00:10:57that region officially broke its ties with
00:11:01the Spanish Crown. September 15,
00:11:031821, Independence Day of
00:11:07Central America.
00:11:12As every year, the United Nations headquarters receives world
00:11:16leaders for its high-level week, amid the international debate on the
00:11:19transformation of multilateral organizations so that they
00:11:23act in favor of the majorities. for equity in decision-making,
00:11:26they should truly influence respect for the
00:11:29self-determination of peoples and international law. Telesur
00:11:33is providing special coverage of this important event with our special
00:11:36envoy, Jorge Gestoso, and our
00:11:39correspondents in the United States, José Leveña and
00:11:43Henry Camelo. 81st session
00:11:46of the United Nations General Assembly
00:11:482026, through our
00:11:51multiplatform. Only on Telesur.
00:12:42Let's add another element for the analysis through the photograph.
00:12:45Those you see there are, of course, the members of the BRICS Plus group
00:12:49at this meeting that was held in New Delhi as part of this
00:12:5218th summit. Very much hand
00:12:56in hand, the President of Russia Vladimir Putin, his Chinese counterpart
00:12:59Xi Jinping, and the Prime Minister of India, the host, Narendra Modi. It must
00:13:03be said that the leaders have described their participation in the development of this
00:13:06meeting as successful. For example, the President of the Russian Federation
00:13:10denounced that more than 30,000 sanctions weigh against his country
00:13:13and proposed creating an economic platform outside of the West,
00:13:17highlighting that the bloc already represents more than 40% of global GDP and
00:13:21generates 50% of world growth. Recently, facing
00:13:2529% of GDP and 18% of G7
00:13:28growth, he also proposed increasing trade with India from
00:13:3270 billion to 100 billion dollars by 2030,
00:13:35despite threats from the United States to impose 10% tariffs
00:13:39for aligning with BRICS and 100% for buying Russian
00:13:43hydrocarbons. Chinese President Xi Jinping also promoted
00:13:46governance and innovation proposals and met with the Prime Minister of India, Narendra
00:13:50Modi. Both agreed that their countries should be partners and
00:13:54not adversaries. China, let's remember, accumulates close to
00:13:57126.4 billion dollars in 186
00:14:01agreements this year and expects to reach 3.6
00:14:05trillion in foreign investment by next year, when it will also
00:14:08chair the mechanism and host the
00:14:11BRICS summit within this rotating
00:14:14presidency.
00:14:23Many elements within the photo.
00:14:27the positions we have been analyzing, Bruno, is what
00:14:30the future holds. China assumes the rotating presidency of the
00:14:34BRICS group and will do so with a clear commitment or challenge: that
00:14:37everything agreed upon in this 18th summit of the
00:14:40BRICS group held in New Delhi
00:14:43can be materialized. These are also challenges framed by the
00:14:47events that come hand in hand with these sanctions, as we
00:14:50mentioned before the break, coercive measures,
00:14:54imposition. of tariffs, that is, there is a brake that
00:14:57BRICS is putting on this Western policy. How
00:15:01could this be reversed and how could it
00:15:10hard way, BRICS could, for
00:15:13example, significantly expand
00:15:16its trade with the Islamic Republic of Iran. It is already expanding,
00:15:20but expanding even more, from... Iran will
00:15:23play an important part in supporting external allies, such
00:15:27as the resistance in Palestine, in
00:15:31Iraq, what remained in Syria, in Lebanon, in...
00:15:33This is one part, another, a quite evident
00:15:38policy that could
00:15:41prevent the passage of commercial
00:15:44ships through
00:15:48Bab-el-Mandeb and Hormuz. Today, Bab-el-Mandeb is under
00:15:51the control of Yemen and Hormuz is under
00:15:55binational control of Iran and
00:15:58Oman. This is at the limit, but I understand
00:16:01that with the economic rearguard developing
00:16:05and an incentive for inter-BRICS
00:16:09economic relations that do not pass through the dollar
00:16:12axis, the position is already there, which
00:16:16can generate enormous defense capability
00:16:20among countries. And finally, joint
00:16:23development of low-cost
00:16:25and very high-
00:16:28Iran's military logistics. It can be
00:16:31developed with binational, trinational,
00:16:35intra-BRICS multilateral projects.
00:16:37All this implies a very significant military power in the medium
00:16:41term. Now this also has weight within the
00:16:45development of conflicts, there is a very marked encounter that
00:16:48can also perhaps change the course not only of diplomatic
00:16:51and bilateral relations, but also stop a
00:16:54possible escalation. When you talk about this Strait of Bab-el-Mandeb
00:16:58in the Red Sea, it has a lot to do with it, I would like us to review this other
00:17:17This is an excerpt from the statement made by the Prime Minister of India,
00:17:21host, also of what has been this 18th summit of the BRICS
00:17:24Plus group. Pandemics, says Narendra
00:17:28Modi, climate disasters and disruptions in supply chains have
00:17:31shown that in today's interconnected world, no
00:17:34crisis remains confined to a single region. We may
00:17:38face different realities, but we can move forward together through
00:17:41cooperation to drive the progress of
00:17:43humanity.
00:17:50Bruno, perhaps we can transfer this to an event that took place
00:17:54during this summit, which may have gone
00:17:57unnoticed, this rapprochement between the Iranian
00:18:00President, Massoud Pezeshkian, and the Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi, amidst
00:18:04escalating tensions between Yemen and Saudi Arabia. Let's remember that
00:18:08Saudi Arabia is also one of the countries that produces
00:18:11large quantities of oil, that also
00:18:14has a relationship with the United States, which champions the
00:18:17Palestinian cause, but at the same time, there is an attempt to create an
00:18:21internal implosion within this region of Western Asia to fulfill,
00:18:25of course, a strategy, a plan. What to say about this point
00:18:29when Pezeshkian says that we must forget the past and work for
00:18:33a future? How viable is this in the midst of all this scenario? When you
00:18:37mentioned this Strait of Bab-el-Mandeb, which is also one of the key
00:18:40straits in the position of Ansarullah?
00:18:42That's
00:18:47the big question because if the monarchs
00:18:50of Saudi Arabia and
00:18:53the federation of Emirates that form the United Arab
00:18:57Emirates align with a
00:19:00foreign policy, I won't say integration into the axis of
00:19:04resistance, but at least non- aggression. There
00:19:18is, because today Yemen has the
00:19:20incredible capacity to cause damage. The
00:19:24largest oil export company in the world is Saudi
00:19:27Aramco. A drone from Yemen costs very little,
00:19:31but an operation at a Saudi Aramco refinery costs
00:19:35a lot, a lot, a lot, yes. And there is a bit of
00:19:38rationality within
00:19:41it's a pretty significant defeat, where
00:19:45Iran's position of strength can be imposed
00:19:48over the secondary
00:19:51wills of these monarchs. An important
00:19:54article came out today explaining that
00:19:58they spend dozens
00:20:00of billions of dollars on military
00:20:04equipment, but they don't have a military, because they don't control the
00:20:07logistics chain. If they did, it would be
00:20:11different.
00:20:12This
00:20:16also converges into a key fact, no, the
00:20:19future of what this hydrocarbon supply chain will be,
00:20:22Bruno, and how it can especially impact
00:20:26or reorder or reconfigure what this
00:20:29global energy map is. We already see that new
00:20:32niches are being converted, being sought, the African continent,
00:20:36Latin America that... could also become perhaps a response
00:20:40to these
00:20:54pre-agreement was made between Iran and
00:20:57Kyrgyzstan, it took place in Bishkek, capital of
00:21:00Kyrgyzstan, at a parallel meeting between the president
00:21:04of Iran and the president of
00:21:07Kyrgyzstan. Iran has bilateral agreements
00:21:10with more than 10 Central Asian
00:21:13countries.
00:21:15The economic development capacity of these countries, because they are not
00:21:19directly threatened by military intervention by the United States
00:21:22directly or indirectly, as we suffer
00:21:26in Latin America, is very different,
00:21:29so relations with Africa and with Central
00:21:32Asia have a tendency to be
00:21:35more productive than ours in
00:21:39Latin America.
00:21:42This also encompasses what will be the challenge for the future.
00:21:46What do you think should be put on the table for the next summit
00:21:50when these countries meet, which not only include the founders,
00:21:53but also the new partners or associated countries that also
00:21:57have a responsibility and weight
00:22:00to face this type of reality? We are talking
00:22:03about trade, about the transformation of balances,
00:22:07and with that also what it means to perhaps face
00:22:10a power like the United States regarding
00:22:14its imposition proposals. That is,
00:22:18something is changing the world at this moment. We are facing new
00:22:22rules of the game. How to understand it?
00:22:25I think so, I think that the Asian countries that
00:22:29have sovereignty, reverse engineering,
00:22:32logistical capacity, integration among neighbors,
00:22:35today have full capacity to confront the
00:22:39imperialism of the United States. They inaugurated
00:22:42a new doctrine of defensive, offensive war with
00:22:46asymmetrical conventional equipment and they are...
00:22:51winning. The United States has no capacity for invasion.
00:22:54Nobody that is not in Latin America. I don't believe anyone in Latin America can invade.
00:22:58The
00:23:01logistical engineering capabilities and a financial
00:23:05architecture that does not involve the dollar changes the
00:23:08balance of world power and leaves us less hostage, I would
00:23:12say, to imperialism. In itself, Latin America has an
00:23:16opportunity to get closer to BRICS or continue being a colony, a
00:23:19protectorate. The option lies in the national interests
00:23:23of our countries, without a doubt. There are the guidelines and
00:23:27a geopolitical reading of what this eighth summit of the BRICS
00:23:30Plus group has been, also amidst all these global conflicts
00:23:34and the very clear positions that the heads of state and
00:23:38leaders have been warning about, as never before from China, India,
00:23:42Russia, Iran, which I think have had an
00:23:45unparalleled weight in the development of this meeting in New Delhi. We will have to
00:23:49see the results and how this materializes, since China
00:23:52has assumed the rotating
00:24:20about the global South. BRICS has maintained its focus on practical
00:24:24cooperation and development-oriented results, which will
00:24:28undoubtedly improve the lives of people. Therefore, at this 18th
00:24:32summit, they have drawn a new roadmap for global governance reform and
00:24:35established an emergency support network to help
00:24:39people in dangerous situations around the world.
00:24:43This is also very much related to the climate crisis. Two
00:24:47sanctions. To this end, the use of this new
00:24:50BRICS development bank has been promoted as a key strategic mechanism to
00:24:54finance projects in emerging economies, without depending on the
00:24:57conditions or blockades of the traditional financial system, yes, the one
00:25:00we know. With the use of local currencies, BRICS
00:25:04implements resilience in supply chains that will also have its
00:25:07impact on future multilateral reform. We are talking
00:25:11even about the International Monetary Fund itself. Three,
00:25:15no conflicts. The great challenge now for this expanding
00:25:18group is to maintain this multipolar order. To this end,
00:25:21it is urgent that conflicts cease in the world. But having
00:25:25spoken out for causes such as Palestine, the end of the war in West
00:25:28Asia, and opening up other possibilities for genuine understanding
00:25:32and cooperation, they not only surpass the G7,
00:25:36they also light up and send a key message of an irreversible
00:25:39change and of the rules of the game themselves. These are the BRICS Plus, with a
00:25:43very marked challenge, that which China has today, the rotating
00:25:46presidency, and must materialize this entire declaration.
00:25:50Addressed in New Delhi,
00:26:16In Costa Rica, while Central American independence was being
00:26:20celebrated, General Francisco Morazán was executed. His attempt to
00:26:23restore the Federal Republic of Central America made him
