Russia and China are building BRICS as an alternative to Western G7, Ge

Berlin: A meeting of the G7 countries, consisting of the most developed and rich countries in the world, was recently held in Germany. The conflict in Ukraine and its aftermath were discussed in the meeting. The G7 has not had much success in resolving the crisis that has befallen European countries, which are facing direct war on such a large scale for the first time since World War II. A German newspaper claims that China and Russia are building an alternative to the Western G7.

The newspaper, titled ‘Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung’, has warned that China and Russia have launched a front against the G7. The influence of the BRICS, initiated by these countries, is growing. The German newspaper warned that Russia had doubled its efforts to build the organization as an alternative to the G7. The BRICS meeting was held just last week. Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova then made the interesting announcement. The newspaper pointed out that Zakharova had said that Argentina and Iran were also ready to join BRICS.

The newspaper said that the Russian Foreign Ministry’s announcement cannot be ignored. The G7, which consists of the United States, Canada, Britain, France, Germany, Italy and Japan, was known as the G8 a few years ago, and it had eight member countries. But Russia invaded Ukraine and took control of Crimea, and Russia had to exit the G8. After this, Russia was ready to challenge this organization which became the G7. The BRICS organization, which includes India, China, Brazil and South Africa along with Russia, is part of Russia’s ambition, the newspaper said.

Western countries had imposed severe sanctions on Russia after the invasion of Ukraine at the end of February. In response, Russia greatly enhanced its cooperation with countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America. The expansion of BRICS is part of Russia’s plan to challenge the G7.

While talking about BRICS, Russian Member of Parliament Aleksey Pushkov expressed confidence that the organization could be an alternative to the G7. The German newspaper also noted that Pushkov had pointed out that it did not include the Western countries. Iran and Argentina are preparing to join BRICS. A Russian news agency, citing a report by a German newspaper, claimed that Mexico, Turkey and Saudi Arabia could join BRICS after that.
