Hey there! Did you know that some countries around the world are teaming up to make the world a better place? π That’s right! It’s called BRICS, and it’s a group of five countries: Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa. They work together to help each other grow and solve big problems.
Recently, from October 22 to 24, the 16th BRICS Summit was held in Kazan, Russia. Leaders from these countries got together to talk about cool ideas and plans. π
CGTN Stringer, a news team, talked to some people in South Africa about how BRICS is helping their country. One lady named Nokukhanya Khanyi Zulu said that BRICS has really helped South Africa. She mentioned that more South African products, like their delicious wine π· and rooibos tea π΅, are being shared with other countries!
Another person, Clea Schultz Mofokeng, is excited about BRICS cooperation in culture, education, trade, technology, and tourism. She said that Confucius Institutes are giving South Africans the chance to learn Chinese and even study in China! How cool is that? βοΈπΏπ¦π¨π³
Kids and teenagers in South Africa are looking forward to more friendships and learning opportunities with kids in other BRICS countries. It’s like making new friends from all over the world! π€
BRICS is all about teamwork and helping each other. Maybe one day, you’ll be part of something big like that too! Keep dreaming big! β¨
