Speaking at the BRICS summit in New Delhi, Vladimir Putin has called for a reformed UN Security Council with greater Global South representation and criticized existing economic bodies like the IMF and World Bank for failing to adapt to modern realities, positioning the expanding BRICS bloc as a key driver in the emerging multipolar order.

  • According to reporting from GN geopolitics/un, the Russian leader explicitly argued that broadening the Security Council to better reflect Asian, African, and Latin American nations is essential for the UN's effectiveness, while also asserting that BRICS has firmly established itself as a central hub for global governance.
