The summit was chaired by Russian President Vladimir Putin, under the theme “Brics Association for Global Stability, Shared Security and Innovative Growth”.
Ramaphosa called on the members of the Brics to come together and demonstrate “collective will and leadership.”
“This pandemic has taught us the need to strengthen health systems and be prepared for future emergencies of this nature and scale. It has shown us the importance of investing in science, technology and innovation, ”said Ramaphosa.
“Above all, it has taught us that international solidarity must pave the way to stability, security and economic growth. In this regard, I wish to congratulate the Russian Federation for its leadership in the Brics during this difficult time. “
