CGTN anchor Pan Deng says the 18th BRICS Summit highlights a collective resilience — enabling developing nations to withstand pressure, innovate and protect independent decision‑making.

CGTN anchor Pan Deng says the 18th BRICS Summit underscores a collective form of resilience, the ability of developing nations to navigate pressure, adapt through innovation, and safeguard independent decision‑making.

He highlights the summit’s call for restraint and diplomacy amid West Asia tensions, and BRICS’ responsibility to remain open rather than form a closed bloc.

Deng adds that strengthening international law, opposing protectionism, expanding economic options such as local‑currency use, and supporting WTO reform, including Iran and Ethiopia’s accession, show BRICS aims to enhance participation in global trade while maintaining dialogue among diverse members.
