The BRICS Summit continues at a meeting until Monday (7), but the main and most anticipated statement of the meeting has already been released on Sunday. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs released the document, called “Rio de Janeiro Declaration”, with the main discussions of diplomats from the group’s member countries.
At the opening of the meeting, early on Sunday, the renovation of the United Nations is one of the central points of the statement.
The document also cites the so -called “two -state solution” to the conflict between Palestine and Israel, suggesting that only the constitution of sovereign states would be able to resolve hostilities in the region. The point was difficult to negotiate for Iran, which does not recognize the state of Israel.

“We recall that the Gaza Strip is an inseparable part of the occupied Palestinian territory. We stress, in this regard, the importance of unifying the Somble and the Gaza Strip under the Palestinian Authority and reaffirmed the right of the Palestinian people to self -determination, including the right to an independent state of Palestine,” the statement says.
Not to mention the United States, the joint statement also condemned attacks from Iran, in the section that mentions conflicts and global security.
“We have condemned the military attacks against the Islamic Republic of Iran since June 13, 2025, which constitute a violation of international law and the United Nations Charter, and expressly express concern about the subsequent escalation of the security situation in the Middle East,” the document says.
