International relations today are affected by a profound crisis marked by escalating geopolitical tensions, a widening geography of armed conflicts, mounting poverty and inequality, and the looming threat of natural and man-made disasters, along with the risks of new epidemics. Meanwhile, the representatives of the so-called Golden Billion persist in their clumsy yet increasingly aggressive efforts to maintain dominance, prioritizing their own prosperity at the expense of the broader global community. It is imperative, therefore, that we, the peoples of the BRICS countries and the Global Majority, acknowledge our unique responsibility to safeguard our planet and use our best efforts to establish a new world order founded upon the principles of genuine multipolarity, mutual respect, and equality. BRICS stands as a beacon of hope for humanity's collective salvation and the realization of a brighter future for all.
