BRIC summit was of great importance for entire world-Brazil
RIO DE JANEIRO, June 18 (Itar-Tass) - The meeting of the BRIC leaders
(Brazil, Russia, India and China) "was of great importance not only for
the four countries, but also for the entire world". This appraisal of the
Yekaterinburg summit was given by Brazilian Minister of Strategic Affairs
Roberto Mangabeira Unger on Wednesday in a phone talk with Itar-Tass.
According to the minister, "the coverage of the meeting by the world
mass media does not give a correct idea of the scale of undergoing
changes". "Our four countries started discussing, formulating and creating
a new world political and economic order," the minister said. "We started
an unprecedented discussion.
"It is not limited to discussing a rating, taken by the BRIC countries
in the present world political and economic construction, but zeroes in on
questions of restructuring this system so as to make it more open to
antidotes, differences, alternatives, experiments and deviation from
dogmas than under the order that was created after the Second World War."
In the minister's opinion, the BRIC countries are now in a position
when they can "head restructuring the present system". He noted that the
four states are responsible for 40 percent of the world GDP and for 40
percent of world population.
"This is a revolutionary agenda, evoking great interest in the world,"
the minister said confidently, stressing that BRIC meetings "are not
spearheaded against anybody, including the United States". Unger who was
lecturer of law for US President Barack Obama during his studies at
Harvard University, said that he held numerous meetings at the US
administration last April.
He did his utmost at the meetings to convince US politicians "not to
fall in for a temptation to interpret BRIC activities as levelled against
them and as an attempt to bridle US influence".
Unger called as important topics, facing the BRIC countries, the
definition of the future of such international organisations as the G20 or
the G8, gathering together with the leaders of China, India, Mexico,
Brazil and South Africa, that is in the 8+5 format; a review of the
present system of international trade; discussion of the dollar's role as
a reserve currency; an analysis of the present set-up of the world
security system; nuclear disarmament; and climatic changes.
The second summit of the BRIC countries will be called in Brazil in
2010.
