Representatives of 11 countries attended the opening of the BRICS+ Information and Cultural Media Centre

The BRICS+ Information and Cultural Media Centre was inaugurated on October 15, in Moscow, organised by the All-Russian State Library for Foreign Literature named after M. I. Rudomino and the TV BRICS International Media Network. The project aims to foster and strengthen humanitarian cooperation among BRICS+ countries and promote culture, science, and education.

The opening ceremony was accompanied by the plenary session of the International Conference titled "Humanitarian Foundations of the BRICS+ Dialogue: The Role of Media in Strengthening Cooperation in the Fields of Culture, Science, and Education." During the event, Pavel Kuzmin, General Director of the Library for Foreign Literature, outlined the project's goals and objectives.

“We will provide our readers with reliable, verified literature that will allow them to make their own decisions. We won’t draw conclusions or provide hints for readers, but we will help them to develop their own positions”
