0:10

the

0:11

merciful your Mr Vladimir Putin

0:15

distinguished leaders of the

0:17

world ladies and gentlemen I hope that

0:21

through this collaborative and

0:23

interactive forum and based on the

0:25

inspiring theme of this

0:27

Summit bricks and the South Co

0:31

constructing a better world we can take

0:34

a significant step towards establishing

0:37

a better system and fairer relations

0:40

based on Collective

0:45

satisfaction Coalition building and

0:47

striving for constructive and friendly

0:49

relations are part of today’s reality

0:52

and the desire of many countries and

0:54

international actors to break free from

0:58

unilateralism

1:00

the foundations of unilateral equations

1:02

and IM balance based on unipolar

1:05

hegemony are extremely shaky and

1:08

wavering many International structures

1:11

and mechanisms stunning from this

1:14

approach such as the US Security Council

1:18

the international monetary fund human

1:21

rights institutions and other examples

1:24

have lost their effective and

1:27

constructive functionality due to

1:30

ization and the influence of Western

1:34

governments that is why since it’s

1:36

Inception this bricks grrip with its

1:39

lofty and popular Golds has been able to

1:42

become a successful model of cooperation

1:44

and convergence among countries on the

1:47

regional and international

1:55

stage

1:57

Summit embodies the fact that building a

2:00

better world is not possible alone in

2:02

today’s interconnected World joint will

2:04

and action are necessary for fundamental

2:06

change that requires reforming the

2:09

current system and creating a more

2:12

balanced order based on Justice and

2:15

satisfaction in other words a better

2:17

world would be a place where there is no

2:20

trace of imposed sanctions acts of

2:23

aggression or conquest or genocide where

2:28

multilateralism prevails over

2:31

unilateralism the majority over the

2:34

minority equality over discrimination

2:37

transparency over deception democracy

2:40

over

2:42

authoritarianism and dialogue over

2:45

War over the past year our world has

2:48

faced numerous events and many

2:51

components of peace and security

2:53

particularly in the West Asian region

2:56

have been either weakened or

2:58

threatened theist regime disregarding

3:03

International Norms has TR on many of

3:07

the red lines of

3:10

governments around the

3:12

world un shivy enough has created as

3:18

ruthlessly as we can imagine a new wave

3:21

of violence and

3:22

Terror flames of War still rage hot in

3:27

the Gaza Strip and leban cities

3:29

International institutions and bodies

3:32

primarily the UN Security Council as the

3:35

driving force for International Peace

3:37

and security lack the necessary capacity

3:41

to extinguish the fire of this crisis

3:44

moreover the unwavering support of

3:47

Western governments led by the United

3:49

States for the Zionist regime has made

3:52

achieving peace and halting The War Out

3:56

Of Reach the Islamic Republic of Iran

3:59

believes

4:00

that Regional and international crises

4:03

cannot be resolved without joint

4:07

efforts therefore within the framework

4:10

of our principled policies we have

4:12

always endeavored to create smart and

4:15

efficient networks of trade relations

4:18

and to make every effort to strengthen

4:22

International cooperation and deepen the

4:25

elements of friendship among countries

4:30

this is despite the fact that contrary

4:33

to all International norms and human

4:35

rights the imposition of unial sanctions

4:38

has challenged International nors and

4:41

human rights and many development

4:44

processes have faced numerous challenges

4:47

due to coercive measures and political M

4:52

hindering this movement towards a

4:56

secure world

5:05

and Bricks plus must design an

5:07

implemented transparent Fair inclusive

5:10

non-discriminatory and rules based

5:13

mechanism for multilateral trade with a

5:15

special focus on the global South and

5:18

developing and least developed

5:21

countries illegal sanctions have

5:24

devastating effects on international

5:27

relations and prevent countries from

5:29

accessing their Financial Resources

5:32

hindering their effective role in

5:34

international cooperation processes such

5:37

as combating the adverse effects of

5:44

degradation and providing humanitarian

6:00

valuable

6:02

opportunities that with attention and

6:05

efforts to create deep economic and

6:07

Commercial bonds can bring abundant

6:11

ample inclusive benefits the use of

the new development bank and contingent

6:27

Reserve Arrangements

6:29

measures can create a better world for

6:33

all new technologies especially

6:36

artificial intelligence will have

6:38

strategic and remarkable impacts on our

6:40

lives in the near future laor countries

6:44

like in the past will impose many

6:47

restrictions on developing countries

6:49

access to new

6:53

technologies to counter these

6:56

limitations we must cooperate with one

6:59

another

7:00

have no choice but to invest jointly

7:04

exchange experiences and accelerate

7:07

joint

7:08

cooperation distinguished guests the

7:11

geographical expans of bricks presents a

7:14

unique opportunity to facilitate

7:17

transcontinental connections and pursue

7:19

shared interests a process that will

7:22

have a significant impact on reducing

7:25

the existing developmental Rift and

7:31

the future belongs to countries that

7:34

play the greatest role in creating

7:37

convergence and establishing a new order

7:40

of institutionalized relations based on

the discourse of consensus and Justice

7:47

2024 hello and welcome to cooperation in

1:33

Kazan this week on the bricks Summit

1:36

2024 I’m TM way the curtain has raised

1:39

on the 2024 brick Summit in Kazan as

1:42

Chinese president XI Jin ping arrived in

1:45

Kazan on Tuesday it’s the very first

1:47

Gathering of bricks countries following

1:49

its expansion to include five new

1:51

members Saudi Arabia Egypt the United

1:55

Arab Emirates Iran and Ethiopia doubling

1:58

the membership from from five to 10

2:01

countries representing a significant

2:03

portion of the world’s population and

2:06

GDP bricks has now become a key venue

2:09

for emerging markets and developing

2:11

countries to strengthen solidarity and

2:13

cooperation thereby serving as a pivotal

2:16

mechanism representing the global South

2:19

China is also working with other bricks

2:21

Partners embarking on a New Journey of

2:24

Greater bricks cooperation so what are

2:26

the Strategic goals of bricks in

2:28

fostering economic resilience I among

2:30

its member states how can this

2:32

partnership facilitate a more Equitable

2:35

global economic order on the sidelines

2:38

of the briak summit as sat down with

2:39

American Economist and professor of

2:42

Columbia University Jeffrey Sachs to

2:44

find out the transformative potential of

2:46

bricks and its impact on shaping a

2:49

sustainable and inclusive global

2:54

economy Professor saxs what a pleasure

2:57

to see you once again thank you

3:00

Delight to be with you Professor sax

3:03

what do you make of the significance of

3:05

an expanded bricks 10 members now and

3:09

there are more waiting the line to be

3:11

joined this is a a major

3:15

geopolitical change no doubt uh

3:18

basically uh these are very large

3:22

countries of course uh China India

3:25

Brazil Russia South Africa the original

3:27

five and now many major new members of

3:32

of the bricks Iran the United Arab

3:34

Emirates Ethiopia Egypt this this is a a

3:39

group which includes nearly half the

3:41

world’s population uh more than a third

3:44

of the world’s GDP uh and there’s a

3:48

determination uh of this group not only

3:51

to forge strong relations among the

3:55

brics members but also very strong

3:58

relations of the bricks members with all

4:01

of the emerging and developing economies

4:04

there’s also a determination to resist

4:07

the kinds of pressures that have come

4:10

from us unilateral sanctions in recent

4:14

years and I think that the bricks will

4:16

basically uh demonstrate uh that it is

4:20

uh not feasible any longer for the

4:22

United States uh and its allies to

4:25

impose these unilateral coercive

4:28

measures which are against international

4:30

law but until now we’re hard to resist

4:33

for individual

4:35

countries we see an expended breaks

4:39

however some argue the unity of the

4:42

breaks on some of the most important

4:44

issues that is core to the existence of

4:48

bricks and needs to be strengthened uh

4:51

Professor saxs what do you make of a

4:53

more Diversified and yet can be

4:57

different uh members uh from one another

5:00

within

5:01

bricks I think that the expansion of the

5:04

bricks is uh is very helpful for the

5:08

bricks countries but but also in my view

5:10

for the world what we’re seeing with the

5:14

bricks is the formation of a truly

5:17

multilateral world and we’re seeing

5:20

because of the actions of the bricks the

5:23

determination of the bricks countries to

5:26

say look we subscribe to the UN hard but

5:30

not to the unilateral pressure of the

5:32

United States or a few countries and I

5:36

think this this is a correct approach uh

5:39

with more countries joining in basically

5:43

there will be more opportunity for an

5:46

emphasis on Peaceful sustainable

5:49

development on cooperation of new

5:52

Financial flows a new monetary approach

5:56

as well and while my hope always is that

5:59

that the world hangs together and

6:02

doesn’t uh simply fall into competing

6:06

blocks because that is very dangerous I

6:09

think the bricks can be a stepping stone

6:11

to a true global system but a truly

6:15

multi-polar system not the kind of us Le

6:19

system that the United States has

6:22

perceived for decades and is is an idea

6:25

that is way out of date if it was never

6:28

really applicable but it’s certainly Far

6:31

From Reality now what do you think

6:34

professor saxs of the concern some

6:37

expressed about you know the nature of

6:40

breaks whether it is a a a mechanism

6:45

that is providing alternative but at the

6:47

same time how to make sure it is not

6:50

going to be a mechanism that is

6:52

literally anti-west or uh even more

6:57

importantly not being labeled as

7:01

anti-west well I think the the problem

7:03

here is the US for example is without

7:08

any uh hiding it anti-russia okay it’s

7:12

not even close uh the the retoric out of

7:16

the United States is literally defeat

7:18

Russia on the battlefield uh there’s

7:21

ugly rhetoric out of Europe divide

7:24

Russia into little pieces and so forth I

7:27

I think from Russia’s point point of

7:29

view the bricks is partly a solution to

7:32

this frankly which is uh like-minded

7:36

countries very significant very

7:39

substantial uh that have friendly

7:41

relations and that want to handle

7:43

matters not on the battlefield but

7:45

actually collegially uh and even finding

7:49

common solutions to what has been a lot

7:52

of bullying by the US now I use these

7:55

terms because though I’m an American

7:58

I’ve been saying to American government

8:00

officials for decades if you want other

8:04

countries to use the US dollar don’t

8:06

bully them don’t confiscate their

8:09

currencies don’t freeze their reserves

8:12

and so what I’m saying is something I’ve

8:14

been saying for a long time which is

8:17

that in a way the US is pushing lots of

8:20

the rest of the world together it’s not

8:23

that they’re coming together

8:24

intrinsically in an anti-western way

8:27

it’s that the US is putting sanctions

8:29

all over the world uh it’s sanctioning a

8:32

tremendous number of countries dozens of

8:34

countries it vastly exaggerates its

8:38

power and it applies sanctions that the

8:41

UN General Assembly has said for many

8:44

decades are simply illegal because

8:47

sanctions should be approved by the UN

8:49

or not used in this coercive manner so I

8:53

believe that the bricks is as long as

8:55

the bricks continue to say which they

8:58

have been saying and I really call on

9:01

them to continue to say it that they

9:03

stand for the UN Charter that they stand

9:06

for multilateralism that they stand for

9:09

peaceful cooperation it’s not fair to

9:12

call them anti-western what they are is

9:16

anti-coercion by the West that’s a quite

9:19

different thing Professor uh on the

9:22

other hand we also see some uh economies

9:25

and countries interested in uh join the

9:30

uh bricks or uh coming into the

9:34

conversation of bricks however we see

9:36

some of them uh yet to make their

9:39

commitment even though they are some of

9:42

the largest economies and emerging

9:44

economies in the world so how do you see

9:47

this uh should I say cency as some

9:50

describe among some of the countries uh

9:54

about the nature of bricks and whether

9:56

they want to be part of

9:57

it well part of it uh is the hesitancy

10:02

comes from us pressure directly don’t

10:05

join the bricks uh and so countries that

10:08

are part of traditional US security

10:12

relations for example are being told

10:16

under no uncertain term should you join

10:18

the bricks and so that’s where hesitancy

10:21

comes from they may feel that this is a

10:24

good deal that they want closer

10:26

relations with China that they want an

10:29

expanded relationship for example with

10:31

the Bel and Road initiative which I

10:33

regard as an extremely positive and

10:36

important Global development initiative

10:38

and countries are benefiting from that

10:40

close relationship with China so they

10:43

want to be part of the bricks but the

10:45

United States often is saying don’t do

10:48

that that’s against us and so forth well

10:51

the main argument that is pushing many

10:54

countries uh in the other direction is

10:57

the kind of hostility and I’m sorry to

11:01

say arrogance that has come from the US

11:04

and its allies for NATO for example for

11:08

a long time NATO’s Doctrine it’s it’s

11:12

literal Doctrine article 10 of the NATO

11:14

treaty for example on NATO expansion is

11:17

that NATO expansion is not the business

11:19

of any Third Country so if the US wants

11:23

to expand uh NATO into Ukraine it’s

11:27

literally under NATO

11:30

uh no business of Russia even though

11:32

it’s all about Russia and it’s on

11:35

Russia’s border well that’s a kind of

11:37

arrogance or huis that has led to this

11:41

enormous backlash countries that are

11:44

aiming to join the bricks field that

11:46

they’re not even listened to uh and they

11:50

face uh heavy costs from the US and its

11:55

allies who take measures that are

11:58

against their interests that are even

12:00

dangerous for them uh they tell these

12:03

other countries don’t trade with Russia

12:05

for example and they these countries say

12:08

but we have normal relations with Russia

12:12

the United States says no no we will

12:14

sanction you we will punish you we will

12:17

cut off your Banks and so forth that

12:20

actually doesn’t work but that kind of

12:22

bullying pushes other countries to want

12:24

to join the

12:26

bricks Professor I remember clearly

12:29

recently you had a debate with Professor

12:31

mimer one of uh you are coming in from

12:35

the uh political economic uh Scholars

12:39

perspective while he is more focusing on

12:42

geopolitics and also diplomacy uh you

12:46

argued in your discussion that it can be

12:50

a win-win situation among countries not

12:52

necessarily one has to be the loser

12:54

while the others will be the winner uh

12:58

now having said that though how about

13:02

the breaks uh we see earlier breaks have

13:06

chosen the road the more on energy

13:11

Financial trade and economic cooperation

13:15

cultural exchanges People to People

13:17

exchanges certainly as well but not

13:20

necessarily focusing much on Geo

13:23

politics and security issues what do you

13:25

make of Professor of the Strategic

13:27

choices that breaks made earlier about

13:31

the Spheres of the efforts it is

13:35

concentrating on and what do you make of

13:37

the future that bricks should and can

13:40

stick

13:42

to look I I hope that when it comes to

13:46

security we actually keep the great

13:50

security issues at the UN in the UN

13:53

Security Council uh in the UN treaties

13:57

uh in the uh uh nuclear arms control

14:01

framework treaties which are un treaties

14:05

I think it would be extremely dangerous

14:07

uh the more we fall into military blocks

14:12

we know that such military alliances in

14:16

modern history for example in

14:20

1914 went haywire uh countries were

14:24

afraid or wanted to make preemptive

14:27

actions and suddenly there was

14:29

a essentially a global war we need at

14:33

all costs to avoid this kind of approach

14:37

I think the bricks emphasis on payment

14:39

systems on Finance on trade on uh

14:43

actually scientific technological and

14:47

academic scholarly and cultural exchange

14:50

is wonderful uh I think that the notion

14:54

uh of uh keeping security uh in a un

14:58

context but then making the UN effective

15:01

because it’s not effective when the veto

15:04

power really is a blockade uh to

15:08

Solutions and in the end is a blockade

15:11

even to real negotiations and Del

15:15

liberations this is what I would hope

15:17

for so I I really don’t want to see

15:20

personally I don’t want to see the

15:21

bricks devolve into some kind of

15:24

military Alliance my own view which I

15:28

state every day is that the war in

15:30

Ukraine could end in a day today if the

15:35

United States would call off its plan to

15:37

expand NATO uh the war in the Middle

15:41

East could end today if the UN Security

15:44

Council would vote a sovereign state of

15:48

Palestine as the 194th UN member State

15:52

on the borders of the 4th of June

15:55

1967 the the risks in East Asia could

15:59

and immediately if the United States

16:02

would abide properly by the one China

16:04

policy and China and the United States

16:06

would enter into uh normal diplomacy all

16:12

of these challenges that we face can be

16:15

overcome war is a disaster obviously uh

16:20

and war between great Powers is a threat

16:23

to human survival in the nuclear age so

16:26

I don’t want to see the bricks become a

16:29

military force I don’t think there’s any

16:32

intention of that but at the same time I

16:35

would like to see a reinvigorated United

16:39

Nations basically the the challenge is

16:43

to solve all of these crises that we

16:46

Face diplomatically to understand that

16:49

they really are about politics they

16:51

really are uh about uh political

16:54

decisions they’re susceptible of

16:57

political compromise or political

17:00

agreements and war is not going to solve

17:04

any of these issues but War could

17:06

escalate into complete Global disaster

17:09

so that’s my feeling the brics is on the

17:12

right course with the focus that it’s

17:17

taken bricks matters to more people

17:21

around the world than ever

17:23

before with expanded membership greater

17:27

diversity broader

17:29

representation bricks is becoming an

17:32

increasingly important platform for

17:35

multilateralism making bigger

17:36

contributions to Global

17:39

governance join us at bricks Summit 2024

17:43

for a grand round table with media

17:45

leaders from all bricks countries

17:48

in-depth conversations with newsmakers

17:51

about the underlying currents shaping

17:53

the world cooperation in transformation

17:57

our special production bricks Summit

18:07

2024 Professor if you look at the uh

18:10

members of Bricks now 10 uh some of them

18:14

are even could be described as among the

18:18

least developed economies While others

18:20

are developing countries emerging

18:22

economies and the list goes on they’re

18:25

much more representing the map of the

18:28

world these days and they are coming

18:29

from all continents uh so how do you see

18:33

this diversity now in terms of their

18:36

ability to come to consensus on some of

18:38

the important Global governance issue

18:42

and especially the priorities of global

18:45

governance

18:46

issue well I think the diversity first

18:49

of all reflects a global reality but a

18:53

most important point about Economic

18:56

Development and economic diversity is

18:58

that every country has the potential

19:01

over the course of 30 or 40 years to go

19:04

from a state of poverty to a state of

19:08

high Prosperity uh China demonstrated

19:11

that for the whole world between uh 1980

19:15

and 2020

19:17

1980 perhaps uh 70% or 80% by some

19:22

measures of the country lived below the

19:24

poverty line by 2020 poverty had been

19:27

eliminated uh it was four remarkable

19:30

decades not every country is going to

19:32

have China’s tremendous success but

19:35

China showed that in four decades it’s

19:38

possible to go from what was really a

19:41

lot of poverty to what is an absolutely

19:43

remarkable economy at The Cutting Edge

19:46

of global technology now you take a

19:49

country like Ethiopia uh a very poor

19:52

country today but a tremendous culture a

19:56

history that is more than 2,

19:59

years old by some measures 3,000 years

20:02

old uh a tremendous capacity for Rapid

20:06

Economic Development I was in rural

20:10

Ethiopia at the beginning of this year

20:12

and I was visiting Farmers whose incomes

20:15

had jumped enormously because they had

20:18

electricity coming from a dam that China

20:21

had helped to build and they had

20:23

transport to sell their goods to the

20:25

Middle East by rail to Djibouti which

20:27

China had helped to build so it was an

20:30

absolutely uh powerful demonstration

20:33

before my own eyes about how the belt

20:35

and Road initiative and and China’s

20:38

capacity to engage uh with the other

20:42

countries based on China’s own

20:44

experience of how you Leap Frog how you

20:47

move forward very quickly in income

20:49

levels if the infrastructure is correct

20:54

if the education system uh is uh

20:57

upgraded so so to my mind having the

21:00

bricks have this diversity is a strength

21:03

uh you take uh Egypt it’s got unique

21:06

challenges but it’s a 5,000 year old

21:09

civilization uh you have Ethiopia it’s a

21:12

3,000 year old civilization you have uh

21:16

Iran Persia in history uh roughly 3,00

21:21

5,000 years old also one of the oldest

21:24

civilizations in the world so this is

21:26

not only a meeting of countries it’s

21:28

actually a meeting of civilizations

21:30

something quite remarkable on the other

21:33

hand we also see pragmatic cooperation

21:36

among members of the bricks economies uh

21:39

we see energy trade has been increasing

21:43

dramatically among the members we also

21:46

see uh that they are working on

21:49

agricultural cooperation even though not

21:53

all of them are strong in agriculture

21:55

competitiveness worldwide uh well at the

21:59

same time we are seeing them doing

22:01

cooperation in science and technological

22:03

field as well so um how do you

22:08

understand the necessity these days that

22:11

economies are working together trying to

22:14

seek alternative ways to develop uh

22:17

their future uh especially at a time

22:20

when economic realities are very

22:23

uncertain well first we need to say we

22:26

uh are all globally facing ing some very

22:30

very serious ecological challenges that

22:34

are sometimes pushed off the front page

22:38

temporarily by the wars and the crisis

22:40

but then come roaring back with the

22:42

floods with the droughts uh with the uh

22:46

Coastal disasters that many many

22:49

countries are facing right now including

22:51

China including Russia including Brazil

22:54

uh including Iran including Egypt and

22:57

Ethiopia this is

22:58

the human induced uh climate change uh

23:02

it is the ecological catastrophes and

23:06

there’s no solution for these crises

23:10

other than through a high level of

23:12

global cooperation and that cooperation

23:16

needs to take many forms one is

23:18

cooperation regionally uh so that the

23:21

countries within a common geography say

23:24

East Asia and Southeast Asia need to be

23:26

working together to connect renewable

23:29

energy and make a power system that goes

23:33

beyond any one country they also need to

23:36

be globally uh Cooperative because some

23:41

countries have technological solutions

23:43

that can help to solve the problems of

23:45

other countries uh or some countries

23:48

have the financing that can help to

23:49

solve the problem of other countries

23:51

right now China has the world’s largest

23:55

capacity in the green technologies that

23:58

we urgently need to implement to avoid

24:02

catastrophic climate change China is the

24:04

world leader in photovoltaics it’s the

24:07

world leader in wind power it’s the

24:10

world leader in fourth generation

24:12

nuclear power it’s the world leader in

24:15

the hydrogen economy it’s the world

24:17

leader in electric vehicles it’s the

24:19

world leader uh in uh fast Inter City

24:24

Electric Rail and many other areas now I

24:27

say all of this and by the way add add

24:30

the digital the 5G what what in China is

24:32

already

24:34

5.5g uh for digital uh systems now other

24:38

countries need these Technologies

24:41

urgently this is why the Bel and Road

24:43

initiative is so important the United

24:46

States in the past year came to say

24:48

China has overc capacity in these areas

24:52

that’s nonsense frankly China’s capacity

24:56

needs to be deployed not only in China

24:59

but actually in exporting these

25:02

Technologies to other countries so that

25:05

they can transform their energy and

25:07

their Transport Systems as well there’s

25:10

no overc capacity the world still lacks

25:13

adequate capacity to make the dramatic

25:16

changes that we need to make for climate

25:18

safety China’s great capacity which is

25:21

the largest in the world is therefore at

25:24

at the global Service and the bricks

25:27

will be away way to actually help to

25:31

deploy this cuttingedge technology

25:34

across these countries which together as

25:37

I say are estimated to have about

25:39

46% of the whole world’s population at

25:42

this point so this is a very good group

25:45

that needs a lot of technological change

25:48

uh and China has a lot to offer so do

25:52

other bricks countries as well so I

25:54

think the interaction within the bricks

25:57

will

25:58

accelerate these green and digital

26:03

Transformations and finally Professor

26:05

saxs we understand that during the uh uh

26:08

bricks uh small group meeting and the

26:12

large group meeting together with the

26:15

bricks plus meetings crucial issues of

26:19

international importance will be

26:21

discussed among the leaders there I’m

26:23

sure the issues on the latest violence

26:27

going on in Middle East particularly

26:29

regarding Lebanon and Gaza will be high

26:33

on the agenda among the leaders so uh

26:36

what do you think can be the

26:38

contribution the bricks together can

26:41

collectively provide to bring more

26:46

opportunity for peace

26:48

there what we need is a specific plan

26:53

for peace in the Middle East I think

26:56

it’s really clear we need a state of

27:00

Palestine according to international law

27:03

on the borders of the 4th of June 1967

27:07

as the international court of justice

27:09

has ruled we’re going to need the

27:13

unbacked

27:14

peacekeepers uh to uh keep the

27:17

populations of both Palestine and Israel

27:21

sep separated from each other we’re

27:24

going to need the brics countries to say

27:27

yes uh this is a two-state solution in

27:30

which both States will end any kind of

27:34

fighting a state of belligerency will

27:37

end and both States will be secure but

27:40

secure within their borders Jeffrey
