MONITORING (SW) – Russian President Vladimir Putin, ostracized by the west and labelled a possible war criminal by the international criminal court, has played host to 36 world leaders from nations including China, India and Iran as part of a summit of the Brics group designed to display Moscow as anything but isolated.<\/strong><\/p>\n

One of the main aims of the summit will be to speed up ways to reduce the number of dollar transactions, and so mitigate the US ability to use the threat of sanctions to seek to impose its political will, reported Guardian.<\/p>\n

The spokesperson for the UN secretary general confirmed\u00a0Ant\u00f3nio Guterres\u00a0would attend the summit as he did last year. His decision infuriated many in the west, including the Ukrainian foreign ministry, since the international criminal court issued warrants for Putin\u2019s arrest in March 2023 over the abduction of children. The UN said Guterres would repeat his view that the invasion of Ukraine is in breach of the UN charter.<\/p>\n

Moscow said the representatives from 36 countries were attending parts of the three-day meeting, making it the largest international gathering hosted by Putin since he ordered the full-scale invasion of Ukraine\u00a0in February 2022. Russia is this year\u2019s chair of the group.<\/p>\n

The Chinese president, Xi Jinping, greeted Putin in Kazan as his dear friend, praising the \u201cprofound\u201d friendship between the two countries. He said: \u201cThe world is undergoing profound changes unseen in a century, and the international situation is chaotic and intertwined.\u201d<\/p>\n

China-Russia ties have \u201cinjected strong impetus into the development, revitalization and modernization of the two countries,\u201d the Chinese leader said.<\/p>\n

Putin said he wanted to strengthen ties with\u00a0China\u00a0to bring greater global stability. \u201cWe intend to further increase coordination in all multilateral platforms to ensure global security and a just world order,\u201d he told Xi.<\/p>\n

The Indian prime minister, Narendra Modi, said he wanted the Ukraine conflict resolved quickly and peacefully.\u00a0Modi visited Kyiv in August\u00a0and\u00a0Moscow in July\u00a0in an effort to encourage talks, casting Delhi as a potential peacemaker, but there have been few developments since.<\/p>\n

Cyril Ramaphosa, the South African president, who has also sought to play the role of mediator in the conflict, praised Moscow as a \u201cvalued ally\u201d and friend \u201cwho supported us from the very beginning in the fight against apartheid\u201d.<\/p>\n

Putin, speaking on Tuesday with the president of the\u00a0Brics\u00a0New Development Bank, Dilma Rousseff, said the use of local currencies instead of the dollar or euro \u201chelps to keep economic development free from politics as far as possible in the context of today\u2019s world\u201d.<\/p>\n

Russia claims the group now represents the global majority that can make up a substantial element of a coming new global order.<\/p>\n
