South Africa chairs BRICS this year, which includes hosting the much- anticipated BRICS Head of States Summit at the Sandton International Convention Centre in Johannesburg from August 22 to 24.
The theme is “BRICS and Africa: Partnership for Mutually Accelerated Growth, Sustainable Development, and Inclusive Multilateralism” which consists of four key elements.
First, it continues the partnership between Africa and BRICS which was launched during South Africa’s first chairship in 2013.
Second, it seeks to address inclusive global economic growth in the post-Covid era, specifically looking at the role BRICS can play in facilitating mutually accelerated and inclusive growth.
