The seventh BRICS Media Summit is underway in Moscow on September 13-17, with heads and leading specialists of over 60 media outlets from 45 countries participating in it. The summit is hosted by Russian state news agency TASS, which celebrated its 120th anniversary on September 1.
For the first time, the Media Summit is held as a new format of the BRICS Media Forum, a non-governmental non-commercial platform for dialogue among leading media of BRICS member states.
The BRICS Media Forum was founded in 2015 on Xinhua’s initiative and has since been organized annually by the country that holds the rotating BRICS presidency. Russia assumed the presidency on January 1, 2024. All BRICS events in Russia are organized by the Roscongress Foundation.
