Foreign ministers from the BRICS group of developing economies discussed measures to strengthen the regional and international collaboration among the five nations.

Top ambassadors from Argentina, Egypt, Indonesia, Kazakhstan, Nigeria, Saudi Arabia, Senegal, Thailand, and the United Arab Emirates later joined Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa.

The meeting, which was held virtually under Chinese chairmanship, focused on "strengthening the collective approach to global affairs, regional conflicts, battling new threats and challenges," and the  "outlooks for five-nation cooperation," according to the Russian Foreign Ministry.

The diplomats discussed "furthering intra-BRICS cooperation on the three pillars of political and security, economic and finance and people-to-people and cultural exchanges," according to the Indian Ministry of External Affairs, and endorsed the UN health agency in its fight against the pandemic.
