Russian President conveyed his best wishes to the Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva and announced an upcoming telephone conversation with him to discuss bilateral ties. Putin also expressed hope for Lula's participation in the autumn BRICS summit in Kazan.

Bank President Dilma Rousseff said she believes the transition to a multipolar world order is crucial and the NDB's goal is to provide the necessary investments to developing countries. 

"The multipolar world is certainly also reflected in national currencies, which is also another compromise, another commitment of the bank to attract and settle in national currencies"
