Good for the BRICS and good for the world. It unleashes good competition, accountability, fairness and challenges to the World Banks and IMF! It is about time.

The proposed BRICKS Bank with two Asian giants (China and India) as major partners is a great leap once again toward the establishment of a semblance of economic equality among the nations of the world. The BRICS political leadership, one hopes, will sustain and stabilize in the larger interests of the less privileged peoples of the world. Kudos to BRICS political leadership!

In the current global financial system of cronyism, these nations are not represented. Actually, lots of powerless nations’ votes in the world are not even ever counted, totally marginalized.

That’s why BRICS stand out. At this rate, it would be very interesting to see the further development in the future. Best wishes to the BRICS leaders! You did a great job!

China loves peace and welcomes all nations to come together in full unison to make tomorrow better for all!
