BRICS Summit in New Delhi focuses on de-dollarization and traditional medicine
The 18th BRICS Summit in New Delhi concluded with a comprehensive New Delhi Declaration, focusing on resilience, innovation, cooperation, and sustainability. The summit yielded over 50 concrete results across multiple priority pillars.
A significant portion of the summit addressed the economic situation in Cuba. BRICS leaders issued a 140-point declaration calling for an end to economic, commercial, and financial measures against Cuba. Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez Parrilla used the forum to denounce the U.S. blockade, describing it as a “silent genocide” that has caused infant mortality to rise from 4 to 9.9 per thousand live births. He advocated for a new international financial architecture, emphasizing de-dollarization and the increased use of national currencies to mitigate economic imbalances.
In the realm of health, the summit prioritized Traditional, Complementary, and Integrative Medicine (TCIM). The declaration supports the creation of a BRICS Expert Working Group on TCIM to foster scientific research, knowledge exchange, and evidence-based approaches to traditional healthcare. This initiative aims to strengthen health systems and contribute to Universal Health Coverage.
Additionally, Chinese President Xi Jinping proposed five cooperation initiatives, including the establishment of an open artificial intelligence zone for BRICS nations, digital industry platforms, and advancements in smart manufacturing and scientific training.
