2018 BTTC Recommendations

The 10th BRICS Academic Forum, consisting of scholars from Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa, took place on 28 – 31 May 2018 at Sandton Convention Centre, Johannesburg. This year also marks the coming of age for the BRICS nations, as we are celebrating 10 years since our inception and looking to the second Golden Decade of BRICS co-operation and solidarity. For the current Chairship, South Africa extended participation at the Academic Forum to other African countries as part of the Africa Outreach initiative. African countries that were invited to participate include: Angola; Burundi; Ethiopia; Gabon, Namibia, Uganda, Togo, Rwanda, and Senegal. Participants commended the efforts made by China during its BRICS presidency to promote BRICS co-operation and suggested working together to strengthen the three-wheel-driven areas of economy, peace and security and people-to-people exchanges.
