“This is the mission that Iran has adopted, it’s a pillar of the Islamic Revolution in 1979, which is the support for the Palestinians. And Iran has been steadfast in its resolve and unrelenting in its support for the Palestinians. And so this will not change, I guarantee you that.”
Les jeux olympiques ont désormais, un concurrent les Jeux des BRICS.
L’idée de ces jeux serait la décision du Comité international olympique (CIO) d’écarter la participation de la Russie et de la Biélorussie aux Jeux asiatiques et aux Jeux olympiques (JO) Paris 2024. Les sportifs des pays de l’association sont Brésil, Russie, Inde, Chine et Afrique du Sud qui se tiendront dans la ville russe de Kazan du 12 au 23 juin 2024, 25 disciplines y concourront, a annoncé le ministre russe des Sports, Oleg Matytsin.

Lula wants Brazil, South Africa, India in UN Council
The president of Brazil defended this Tuesday (22), the opening day of the BRICS Summit, that in addition to Russia and China, the other countries of the bloc have a permanent seat on the United Nations Security Council. He also said he favored the entry of new members into BRICS.
Brazilian president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva defended this Tuesday (22) all members of BRICS – a group currently formed by Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa – become permanent members of the Security Council of the United Nations (UN). Currently, only Russia and China are. “We need to convince Russia and China that Brazil, South Africa, and India can join the Security Council.”
In Johannesburg, South Africa, for the BRICS Summit (pictured above, the landing), Lula also defended the entry of new members into the bloc. “This is a debate we will have. Also, to allow the entry of new countries, we have to limit [the discussion] to some subject everyone agrees on. If there is no commitment from the countries joining the BRICS, it could become a Tower of Babel. We are building this. From this meeting here, I think something very important could emerge about the entry of new countries. I am in favor of the entry of several countries. We would become strong.”
