This year’s BRICS summit has concluded in the Russian city of Kazan. The message from the three-day event is clear: the global reality is changing, and the developing world wants to have adequate representation.

Following more than a decade of development, the BRICS has come to a stage where its international influence must be taken seriously. Its member countries are home to 45 percent of the global population, and they account for more than a third of the global economy.

In this edition of program, we explore how the BRICS is working to turn its visions into reality. Host Ding Heng is joined by Professor Wang Zhengxu from the School of Public Administration, Zhejiang University; Warwick Powell, Senior Fellow with Taihe Institute and Adjunct Professor with Queensland University of Technology; Emmanuel Matambo, Research Director of the Center for Africa-China Studies, University of Johannesburg.
