Dialogue of Civilizations Series (BRICS Edition) held in Brazil to strengthen cultural exchanges

The Dialogue of Civilizations Series (BRICS Edition) was officially launched on Friday at the State University of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Themed "Strengthening BRICS cultural exchange bonds to empower a bright future for the Global South," the event attracted over 300 representatives from BRICS countries, including China, Brazil, Russia, India and South Africa. The participants included experts, scholars, renowned athletes and youth representatives.

Attendees emphasized that cultural exchanges among BRICS nations are not only dialogues across vast distances, but also a vivid reflection of the Global South's collective pursuit of progress and development.

As "Greater BRICS cooperation" enters a new phase, the attendees believed that the countries of the Global South must continue to strengthen mutual exchange and learning, making "BRICS+" cooperation warmer and more sustainable.
