BRICS-Civil 2024 in Moscow focuses on fair development, digital payment mechanism, and prioritizing nationally oriented NGOs.
Nationally oriented NGOs will find prominence at the BRICS-Civil 2024 to be held in Moscow from July 3-4, according to a Russian organiser Dr. Victoria Panova, head of the BRICS Expert Council of Russia.
Speaking to the media, she said that BRICS is not aimed against any country and argued for creation of a digital payment mechanism that will allow BRICS member states to continue trading among themselves without the threat of unilateral sanctions.
“We are focusing on fair and just development, sovereign, economic and financial development, information security and digital development, public health and human wellbeing, heritage preservation, ecology and energy transition,” said Ms. Panova explaining the various segments that will be built upon during the BRICS-Civil meeting.
