Honduras considers BRICS as part of shift towards multipolar cooperation, minister says
Speaking at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF) 2025, Ricardo Salgado Bonilla said the country has a growing interest in global platforms that promote inclusive and equitable cooperation. He said the forum, held under the motto 'Common Values – the Basis for Growth in a Multipolar World,' offers an environment 'that is inclusive, where we can talk about our expectations with people who are interested in investment.'
In an exclusive commentary, the minister discussed Honduras' recent application to join the BRICS New Development Bank (NDB), framing it as a step towards broader international cooperation.
'So for us it's a big step to take a look at the world to go and ask for being a part of this new bank, and, why not in the coming future also applying for a membership in BRICS,' he said at the TV BRICS studio in the Roscongress International Cooperation Area.
Honduran President Xiomara Castro submitted an official request for the country to join the New Development Bank of BRICS during her visit to China in June 2023.

Ghanaian MP: BRICS Bloc Offers Global South a Fairer Alternative to Dollar-Based Trade
As momentum grows behind the BRICS bloc and its expanding global influence, Ghanaian Member of Parliament Hon. Thomas Nyarko Ampem Bedzrah has hailed the alliance as a crucial alternative for developing nations seeking to break free from what he described as long-standing imbalances in the global economic order. Speaking at a recent policy forum, Bedzrah underscored the rising appeal of BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa — now joined by several new members), particularly among Global South countries that have historically borne the brunt of Western economic dominance. 'More countries from the Global South are joining BRICS — and we all know what this group stands for,' Bedzrah stated. 'In the past, Western economies took advantage of less endowed nations by monetizing everything that came from our regions — from raw materials to natural resources — and dictating the terms of trade in a currency they alone controlled.' He pointed to the outsized role of the U.S. dollar in international trade as a major barrier to economic self-determination in Africa and other developing regions. 'When everything is dollarized, it makes trade extremely difficult for us in the Global South. We have to convert to a third-party currency, which creates inefficiencies, additional costs, and vulnerability to external shocks,' he noted. According to Bedzrah, BRICS offers a meaningful shift in that narrative by promoting multilateral trade in local currencies, a practice that could level the playing field for emerging economies. 'For instance,' he explained, 'if Ghana and Russia are both members of BRICS and we have a trade agreement, I should be able to pay in Ghanaian cedis while the other party receives payment in Russian rubles. That removes the unnecessary dependence on the dollar and makes trade more direct, competitive, and equitable.' His remarks come amid renewed interest in the BRICS bloc, especially following its expansion in 2024 to include countries such as Egypt, Iran, Ethiopia, and the United Arab Emirates — signaling a broader realignment in the global economic architecture. The bloc has also revived discussions around the possibility of creating a BRICS-based payments system or common trading currency to further challenge the dollar's dominance. 'This shift isn't just economic — it's political,' Bedzrah added. 'It reflects a growing desire among developing nations to assert sovereignty over their economic destinies, to set fairer terms of engagement, and to stop being mere providers of raw commodities in a system that does not serve their long-term development.' Analysts say BRICS' growing influence could offer developing economies new leverage in international negotiations, particularly in trade, energy, and finance — sectors often shaped by rules written in the Global North. For Ghana and other African nations, Bedzrah's comments echo broader calls for a more inclusive, multipolar global order — one where the voices and interests of the Global South are not only heard but actively shape the future of global commerce.

TV BRICS, UN Global Compact Network Russia sign media partnership on sustainable business
The TV BRICS International Media Network and the UN Global Compact Network Russia have signed a media partnership agreement to promote sustainable business development. The agreement was signed at the 28th St. Petersburg International Economic Forum by Ivan Polyakov, Chairman of TV BRICS, and Natalia Dorpeko, Executive Director of the UN Global Compact Network Russia. As part of the cooperation, TV BRICS will provide media support to Russian businesses in the areas of corporate social responsibility and sustainable development. It will also support the promotion of Russian business interests and best practices through the platforms of leading media outlets in BRICS+ countries. The parties agreed to cooperate on promoting best practices in sustainable development and social responsibility, including implementing media, cultural and educational projects aimed at fostering international knowledge exchange and expanding business partnerships in line with the UN 2030 Agenda. 'In 2025, several milestone anniversaries will be marked in connection with the work of the United Nations: the 80th anniversary of the entry into force of the UN Charter; the 25th anniversary of the UN Global Compact, the world's largest initiative for implementing the sustainable development agenda; the 10th anniversary of the Millennium Declaration 'Transforming our World: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development', which includes the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals (Agenda 2030); and the 10th anniversary of the Paris Agreement, a legally binding international treaty adopted under the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change,' stated Natalia Dorpeko. 'The signing of the Agreement between the UN Global Compact Network Russia and TV BRICS is highly symbolic in this context and holds special potential for advancing international cooperation on the UN's sustainable development agenda.' TV BRICS Chairman Ivan Polyakov noted that the International Media Network has cooperated with the United Nations since 2018 and has extensive experience in media campaigns supporting the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). He added that the mission of the UN Global Compact and the work of its Russian network are closely aligned with the strategic objectives of TV BRICS. The UN Global Compact is an international initiative for business in the field of corporate social responsibility and sustainable development. It currently brings together around 25,500 companies and organisations from 167 countries, including about 4,500 from BRICS countries. The UN Global Compact Network Russia supports the implementation of Russia's National Development Goals. Its activities aim to represent Russian business interests and affirm the proactive stance of Russian business in seeking sustainable development pathways. In 2018, TV BRICS signed a cooperation agreement with the UN Secretariat and was included in the international SDG Media Compact. The network initiates projects on sustainable development, such as the TV series 'Agroparallels,' produced with a partner in Brazil, and plans to launch a new project, 'BRICS GRAIN,' in 2025. The agreement between TV BRICS and the UN Global Compact Network Russia will contribute to the implementation of the UN General Assembly Resolution 'Towards global partnerships: a principle-based approach to enhanced cooperation between the United Nations and all relevant partners'.
