"The accumulated collective fatigue in the world from the diktat of adherents of a unipolar world order, and, as a consequence, the resulting crisis of confidence in such powers, only encourages all other countries to search for and develop new formats of cooperation, to build new systems of collective decision-making, based on real mutual respect and equality of the partner countries. These are the principles underlying the cooperation among the BRICS countries," Anna Danilyuk said during the IV International Municipal BRICS+ Forum.
The official specified that there are currently 14 agreements on cooperation between municipalities of the Leningrad region and China. Danilyuk went on to add that the dialogue with India has also intensified, particularly in culture, education, and sports.
