This is the second media outlet from this country interested in promoting the BRICS+ news agenda
TV BRICS International Media Network and the Chilean portal El Ciudadano have signed a co-operation agreement. The agreement will allow the population of the Latin American country to receive the most up-to-date news on humanitarian and economic activities of the BRICS member states and alliance supporters. At the same time, TV BRICS' new colleagues can expect that important news about their country will be directly available to all partners of the media network, which already has more than 60 media outlets from 17 countries.
"TV BRICS is delighted to begin co-operation with its Santiago colleagues in the year when Russia and Chile celebrate the 80th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations. Partnership in the information sphere contributes to the strengthening of cultural exchange and humanitarian ties between our countries, as well as to the development of dialogue and cooperation between BRICS countries and the global South"
Anastasia Shishkalova International Projects Manager of TV BRICS
Denis Rogatyuk, Director of International Cooperation of El Ciudadano, noted that multipolarity is growing in the modern world and this is supported by the countries of the global South. According to him, it is important for media companies to unite in a common cause, and TV BRICS is one of the key initiatives in this direction.
"With almost 18 years of experience, the El Ciudadano team hopes to help readers navigate the vast flow of information and present an independent view on international relations," he said.
Founded in 2005, El Ciudadano adheres to the principles of independent journalism and promotes a social agenda. The portal publishes information and analyses covering news from Latin America and around the world. Its information is available in Spanish, English and French. El Ciudadano has offices in Chile and Mexico.
In the year of Russia's presidency of the BRICS grouping, TV BRICS International Media Network is expanding its Spanish-language coverage. In March 2024, the Spanish version of the portal was launched.
In March 2024, the Spanish version of the TV BRICS portal was launched, and a co-operation agreement was signed with the Chilean portal Cronica Digital.

So, we have an opportunity to lead by example. We have our development bank, which can demonstrate and develop new ways of financing programmes. We can reduce the risks for private capital to invest in restoration and efforts to combat desertification" -
