UAE Assistant Minister for Economic and Trade Affairs, Saeed Mubarak Al Hajeri, emphasized the growing importance of the Global South in driving future economic growth. In an interview with CGTN, Al Hajeri stated that the BRICS mechanism serves as a vital platform for amplifying the voices of developing nations on the global stage.
“The Global South represents the future of economic growth,” Al Hajeri said. “The BRICS mechanism provides a platform for the rest of the world to hear its voice.”
The BRICS group—comprising Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa—aims to promote cooperation among emerging economies. The UAE’s interest in the BRICS mechanism reflects its commitment to strengthening ties with these nations and contributing to global economic development.
Al Hajeri’s remarks come amid increasing discussions about the role of the Global South in shaping international economic policies. By engaging with platforms like BRICS, countries like the UAE seek to foster collaboration and address common challenges.
The minister’s comments highlight the UAE’s strategic approach to international trade and investment, focusing on partnerships that can drive sustainable growth for developing nations.
