The Russian Federation, the chair of the BRICS group for the year 2024, presided over the meeting.
The participation in this meeting stems from the UAE's belief that coordinated global efforts and multilateral cooperation have become more crucial than ever to overcome current challenges and achieve a more prosperous future for all.
Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed extended his appreciation to the Russian Federation for their successful organisation and gracious hospitality, valuing the significant efforts made by the Russian chairship since the beginning of the year to advance the contributions of BRICS and achieve its strategic goals and aspirations.
