"Dialogue for the Future – 2025": Key Role of BRICS and New Contours of Global Governance
From December 5 to 9, 2025, the research and educational programme "Dialogue for the Future – 2025," organised by the Alexander Gorchakov Public Diplomacy Fund, was held in Moscow. Over five days, young researchers and experts from various countries discussed pivotal issues on the contemporary international agenda: the self-organisation of the Global Majority, regulation of artificial intelligence, the UN reform, and the transformation of global governance.
An important part of the event was the discussion "UN Reform in the Interests of the Majority," which featured Victoria Panova, Head of the BRICS Expert Council-Russia, Vice Rector at HSE University, and Sherpa of Russia in the Women 20 (W20). Her presentation made a significant analytical contribution to the debate, focusing participants’ attention on key issues of Global Majority representation and the role of BRICS in reshaping the global architecture.
Victoria Panova stressed that the demand from developing nations for a more equitable voice in global governance is stronger than ever. The UN structure, established after World War II, is increasingly misaligned with 21st-century realities, and reforming the Security Council while elevating the role of the Global South remain essential to the legitimacy of this institution. She noted that the #BRICS countries, owing to their economic and political momentum, have a unique opportunity to champion new approaches to global governance that respect the interests of a broad range of states.

Drowing in videos
The end of this year seems to be the end of the world for some. The number of videos, commentaries, and outright sorrow about Europe, for one, is unbelievable. I’ll do a Trumper – We’ve never seen anything like this before. We are overwhelmed by commentary, sometimes just because all the talking heads nowadays believe their words are indispensable to the public domain.

Finally: a concise version of my epic travels in Italy for the past two weeks - tied with the publication of my latest book, Il Secolo Multipolare.
These are only a few among countless fragments of civilization - scattered across THE civilization-state par excellence of the whole West.
My homage to Pallas Athena Italia.

🌏 Myanmar Eyes BRICS Membership: A Game-Changer for Asian Trade?
Myanmar is positioning itself as a strategic bridge in Asia's evolving economic landscape by seeking BRICS membership. The nation's Minister for Investment and Foreign Economic Relations has confirmed Myanmar's interest in joining the bloc, seeking new financing sources and technology cooperation. With its crucial geographical position between China's Yunnan province and the Bay of Bengal, Myanmar could become a vital corridor for de-dollarization efforts and alternative trade routes in Southeast Asia.
This move comes as over 46 nations express interest in BRICS affiliation, with neighboring Laos also applying for membership. Myanmar's participation could reshape regional dynamics, offering the country access to multilateral networks while strengthening ties with major economies outside traditional Western financial systems.
💭 What's your take on this shift? Could Myanmar's BRICS membership create new opportunities for regional cooperation, or do geopolitical challenges pose too great a risk? Share your thoughts below! 👇

🚨 JUST IN - Iran SEIZES tanker carrying 6 MILLION LITRES of ‘smuggled fuel’.
DAY after US captures ship used to ‘transport sanctioned oil from Venezuela and Iran’, Iranian authorities have seized a foreign tanker allegedly carrying 6 million liters of smuggled diesel in the strategically vital Gulf of Oman.
State media reports the vessel was intercepted as part of Iran's ongoing crackdown on fuel smuggling—a persistent challenge in the region where Iran's heavily subsidized fuel prices create lucrative black market opportunities. The tanker's identity and nationality were not disclosed, continuing a pattern of maritime enforcement actions in these critical shipping lanes.
This incident highlights the complex dynamics of energy trade in one of the world's most important maritime corridors. What's your take on maritime fuel smuggling enforcement? Should regional cooperation be strengthened to combat these operations, or do current measures suffice? 💬🤔
