Nos dias 29 e 30 de maio, foi realizada em Moscou o Fórum das Academias de Ciências dos BRICS, liderado em 2024 pela Academia Russa de Ciências. Esta foi a primeira vez que o Fórum foi realizado com a participação dos novos países membros do bloco. A presidente da ABC, Helena Nader, participou de forma virtual.
“Essa edição do Fórum tem duas características que considero de suma relevância. Primeiro, esta é a primeira reunião no contexto da nova configuração do bloco, com novos parceiros com quem teremos o prazer de trabalhar juntos. O segundo aspecto é que esta reunião está ocorrendo no contexto do tricentenário da Academia Russa, a qual estendo meus sinceros parabéns”, desejou Nader. “A ABC considera o Fórum BRICS uma arena de suma importância e considera que a inclusão dos novos membros aumenta sua importância e reforça nossa capacidade de cultivar novas iniciativas e colaborações com o objetivo de acelerar o desenvolvimento de nossos países e o bem-estar de nossos povos. Nós devemos abraçar coletivamente o compromisso de trabalhar por um mundo mais justo e cujo desenvolvimento deve se dar de forma mútua”, completou.
