The 2025 BRICS summit was the seventeenth annual BRICS summit, held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.[2][3][4]

Background

Between 28 and 29 April 2025, a meeting of the members' foreign ministers was held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, ahead of the leaders summit.[5] The ministers failed to release an agreed-upon joint statement, but voiced concerns over the rise of protectionist trade practices from the Trump administration in the United States.[6]

Chinese leader Xi Jinping did not attend the summit for the first time since succeeding Hu Jintao as CCP General Secretary in 2012. Russian president Vladimir Putin participated virtually.[7]

Controversies

Participation of Vladimir Putin

Main article: International Criminal Court arrest warrants for Russian leaders

In March 2023, the International Criminal Court (ICC) issued an arrest warrant against Russian President Vladimir Putin for war crimes during the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Putin's foreign affairs adviser Yuri Ushakov said that Putin would not attend the summit in person due to the ICC arrest warrant.[8]
