Raphael stated that developed countries benefit more in current international organizations and institutions. Although the proportion of developing countries in the world's total economic output is increasing, they are still not fully represented in economic decision-making. Developing countries hope to change this situation, and we are beginning to realize the importance of the BRICS countries as a common platform where we can become stronger together.
Raphael said that the BRICS is a great platform to unite more representative countries from the "global South" and support common interests through joint efforts. He also emphasized that it is important that the BRICS countries do not target any country or group of countries. We are only defending our own interests, defending the legitimate interests of developing countries, and we only want to give the best to the people.
