最新报道:BRICS now accounts for 40% of global GDP in purchasing power parity (PPP), surpassing the G7's 29% share, according to Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov. Speaking at a UN General Assembly side meeting, Lavrov outlined proposals to further boost economic cooperation, including new settlement infrastructure, an independent exchange, investment mechanisms, and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization development bank.
