As a country with an ever-growing and diverse economy, Indonesia is committed to actively contributing to the BRICS agenda on economic resilience, technology cooperation, and sustainable development, the ministry noted in its written statement.
Indonesia aims to fulfill its role within BRICS by addressing global challenges, such as climate change, food resilience, and public health.

BRICS was founded with the initial goal of becoming a global political, economic, and financial entity to reflect a more equitable, balanced and representative power dynamics./.
