ACTUAL OPINION

- "The creation of a new world order faces irreconcilable opponents who are trying to resist this process."

Dear readers!

BRICS ALLIANCE Media Service information project was born simultaneously with the creation of the BRICS International Alliance of Strategic Projects, designed to unite on one platform not only politicians, but also people of science and culture, representatives of city administrations and business circles, participants in social projects and creators of civil cooperation initiatives of all five member states of the commonwealth.

At a time when BRICS is preparing to expand its format, and more than 13 countries have expressed their desire to become members of the community, it is extremely important to have an independent and autonomous information platform in it. Our task is to provide information support for those projects that strengthen inter-state cooperation, expand people's knowledge about each other, and create prerequisites for closer and more productive contacts.

Among our readers are the leaders of states, heads of ministries and departments, members of the diplomatic corps. We create an information field in which a person who is not familiar with the realities of other countries, but who wants to establish business, social, scientific or cultural ties with them, can easily navigate.

Each of our issues contains articles, analytical reviews and news, united by a main topic, the relevance of which is particularly acute at the time the newspaper goes out of print (or appears on the Internet). That's why you can see our editions in the hands of guests and participants of economic forums, political summits, and authoritative international organizations.

We are always glad to cooperate. Our correspondents operate in Russia and other countries of the world. We are not replacing or substituting publications with a governmental platform: our platform is a civic initiative aimed at creation and understanding, cultural and scientific exchange, cooperation in the field of advanced technologies.

Check out our issues, see the list of published materials and their authors. Become part of the BRICS information space - the future belongs to it. We believe in this and invite you to share our confidence.

Xi Jinping arrived in Moscow on a state visit at the invitation of Vladimir Putin, his first since his re-election as China's leader. November 9, President Vladimir Putin flew to Astana on an official visit and took part in the XIX Forum of Interregional Cooperation between Kazakhstan and Russia. Also, the leaders of the two countries held talks in narrow and extended formations, where they discussed issues of Kazakh-Russian partnership.

"We are a window to Central Asia for Russia, and Russia is a window to Europe for us, as 80% of our oil is transported through Russian territory. At the same time, Russia has started transportation of gas to Uzbekistan through the territory of Kazakhstan. Diversifying its supplies to Asian markets, Russia will focus on Kazakhstan. And our task in this situation is to maximize the benefits, as any such serious projects will contribute to the formation of service enterprises, identification of business contacts with Russian entrepreneurs, we will have new jobs, new income", - said Talgat Kaliyev.
