Brick countries have made their positions clear, and the propositions of the US and Europe did not receive any response at the BRICS summit! On July 7th, according to foreign media reports, BRICS countries clearly expressed their positions on multiple global important issues. First, the leaders of BRICS countries condemned recent attacks against Iran and Gaza. Second, BRICS countries clearly stated that they call for reforming global institutions.
Thirdly, regarding the trade war initiated by the United States, BRICS members stated that Trump's indiscriminate import tariffs harm the global economy. Obviously, none of these statements would be what the Western countries want to see. Before the establishment of the BRICS organization, the West almost monopolized the global discourse hegemony, but now it seems that the West can no longer do so.
The condemnation of Iran and Gaza is aimed at the United States and Israel. Calling for reform of the United Nations is hoping to revamp the UN Security Council mechanism, allowing the Global South countries, non-Western countries to have greater voice in the UN system. And criticizing the trade war initiated by Trump is essentially expressing dissatisfaction with the United States' increasingly destructive practices against the international order. With the BRICS organization, the international community is no longer a one-man show of the West and G7. Undoubtedly, the global landscape is undergoing profound changes.
