TV BRICS is the newest system of regular information exchange between the media of the BRICS+ countries. Media partners interact through the TV BRICS multilingual portal and the 24-hour TV channel of the same name.

TV BRICS is headquartered in Moscow, Russia.

More than 70 media outlets from many countries have already joined the TV BRICS network: Russia, Brazil, India, China, South Africa, Egypt, Iran, UAE, as well as Argentina, Armenia, Venezuela, Zimbabwe, Kazakhstan, Kenya, Cuba, Mozambique, Tunisia, and Chile.

The total technical coverage of the TV BRICS partner network exceeds 1.5 billion users.

The mission of TV BRICS is to strengthen co-operation between the BRICS countries and disseminate objective information on humanitarian and economic activities of the BRICS member states and partners.

TV BRICS is an official partner of the United Nations, a member of the Organising Committee for the preparation and provision of the Russian Chairmanship of the BRICS association in 2024.

As an international partner, TV BRICS provides communications and information support for major international events in the BRICS+ countries, media support for the activities of government authorities, cultural and higher education institutions, public and non-profit organisations.
