BRICS Rising: From Summits to Soft Power – Media & Expansion Take Center Stage
BRICS is moving beyond finance: its outreach in media, governance, and expansion is shaping an architecture of influence aligned with global financial change.
Media Diplomacy Surges
Reuters maintains a dedicated BRICS section covering diplomatic, financial, and media moves, giving real-time insight into the bloc’s narrative-shaping.
At their 2025 summit in Rio, BRICS leaders agreed on statements to strengthen cooperation in AI, media governance, and global representation.
Russia has also floated a precious metals exchange concept within BRICS to counter Western-dominated trading platforms — a move that overlaps economic policy with messaging and structural autonomy.
Expansion, Mixed Messaging & Tariff Tensions
In June 2025, Vietnam was formally admitted as a partner country of BRICS, expanding the bloc’s footprint in Asia.
Brazilian President Lula has pushed for tighter trade and financial integration, citing tariffs as a tool of coercion — implicitly referencing U.S. protectionism.
Ahead of the summit, President Trump threatened a 10% tariff on countries aligning with “BRICS anti-American policies.” BRICS members pushed back, asserting they remain open to engagement with the West.
Structural Depth: Finance, Trade & Symbolism
Even Brazil cautions: it doesn’t believe BRICS has assets large enough to displace the dollar in the near term.
But at the same time, BRICS finance ministers issued a joint IMF reform proposal,
The Russian-led proposal for a BRICS Grain Exchange remains active in communiques — a strategic push to internalize trade in agricultural commodities.
Why This Matters
BRICS is evolving: not just as an anti-dollar coalition, but as a parallel ecosystem of trade, media, and governance influence.
By extending into narrative control, local institution-building, and soft-power alignment, the bloc is rewriting the rules of financial cooperation — and laying the groundwork for alternatives to Western dominance.
This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.
