Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva warmly welcomed Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto during the 17th BRICS Summit in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. This marked Prabowo’s first participation in the BRICS forum as Indonesia’s head of state, now a full member. Lula highlighted the significance of the Bandung Conference and how BRICS embodies its spirit, emphasizing the rejection of a world divided by great powers. The summit served as a platform for leaders to address political, security, economic, and cooperation challenges, including discussions on global governance reforms and environmental initiatives. Alongside Prabowo, leaders from newly admitted member states such as Ethiopia, Egypt, and Iran were in attendance, joining the founding BRICS nations. The presence of these representatives underscored the commitment to fostering multilateral dialogue and cooperation within the BRICS framework.
