BRICS lawyers to discuss the development of digital technologies

The event will be attended by ministers of justice from the BRICS countries

The IX BRICS Legal Forum will be held in the Russian capital on 19-20 September at the MGIMO University. It will be attended by representatives of the legal communities of Brazil, India, China, South Africa, as well as Egypt, Iran, UAE and Ethiopia.

In addition to the members of the association, lawyers from Vietnam and Uzbekistan have been invited to the forum as observers.

The main theme of the meeting is "Law: Safeguarding a Fair World". The event is organised by the Russian Federal Bar Association, MGIMO University and Kutafin Moscow State Law University. TV BRICS is the international media partner of the event.

The meeting will include a plenary session and a number of sessions devoted to law and digital technologies, legal education, legal mechanisms for resolving commercial issues and other topics. There will also be discussions supported by Russian agencies, including the Constitutional Court and Supreme Court of the Russian Federation, the Ministry of Science and Higher Education, the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Justice, the Federal Antimonopoly Service and the Human Rights Ombudsman.

"I am confident that the forum will contribute to strengthening co-operation between the participating countries," said Anatoly Torkunov, Rector of MGIMO University.

Chairman of the Russian Federal Bar Association Sergey Stepashin, in turn, noted that the planned event is a unique opportunity to exchange judicial practice. According to him, the dialogue of legal communities will contribute to the implementation of joint projects of the BRICS countries.

Speakers at the forum will include Russian and Egyptian Justice Ministers Konstantin Chuichenko and Adnan Al-Fangari, Russian Minister of Science and Higher Education Valery Falkov, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov, as well as representatives of legal societies and bar associations from BRICS countries.

The event has been held annually since 2014. This time it will be held within the framework of Russia's BRICS chairmanship.

Liao Fan

Director of the Institute of World Economics and Politics at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences (CASS)

"We also encourage countries of the Global South to work together and contribute to the global economy. We also call on developed countries to set aside issues such as national security and strategic competition when we are discussing real global challenges – pressing issues such as public health or poverty reduction – so that development resources can be channelled truly effectively to those countries that need them. [...] Major powers and large countries must bear greater responsibility for the well-being of people around the world. This is the responsibility of the major powers"

Anutin Charnvirakul

Prime Minister of Thailand

"Russia has been a trusted friend of Thailand for over a century. […] Next year, we will mark the 130th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between our countries. We will commemorate this important milestone with high-level exchanges, thereby reaffirming our shared commitment to an even stronger partnership for the benefit of our peoples"

Ferdinand Marcos

President of the Republic of the Philippines

"First, peace, security and stability. [...] We need our joint efforts to contribute to peace and security and to respond promptly to all threats. Second, a more dynamic economic partnership. Our areas of cooperation in trade are developing. We need to act more ambitiously and decisively in order to facilitate trade, economic flows and the expansion of the business community. [...] And third, perhaps one of the most important areas, is our peoples, grants, student exchanges, academic partnerships and tourism. [...] The relationships that are being built between our countries are reflected in the summit declaration, and they provide what policy alone cannot achieve"

Anwar Ibrahim

Prime Minister of Malaysia

"The relations in the last few years have been remarkable. We have seen impressive development, and my visit was – you were fantastic. We see the enormous role that Russia can play not only in Malaysia but also in the developing world, ASEAN and the rest. We are exploring this halal economy and finance. We are now almost finishing the visa abolition arrangement. [...] And then you have also agreed to these flights for tourism, for trade, and connectivity between Malaysia, Moscow, Kazan, and other cities in Russia"

Vladimir Putin

President of the Russian Federation

"This forum, which has brought together leading representatives of the business communities of our country and the ASEAN member states in the hospitable capital of Tatarstan, Kazan, is of particular importance. This year marks the 35th anniversary of Russia–ASEAN relations. During this period, we have accumulated substantial experience in multifaceted cooperation, established strong ties, including between the Association’s Business Advisory Council and the Russia–ASEAN Business Council, and created a solid foundation for the future"
