Here are the key reports and articles that I found noteworthy from the People’s Daily’s edition on Friday, August 25, 2023. Page 1: Once again the page today is all about Xi Jinping’s engagements in Johannesburg. The top story is about Xi attending the BRICS-Africa Outreach and BRICS Plus Dialogue. More than 60 leaders and representatives of African countries and other emerging markets and developing countries, as well as UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, President of the New Development Bank Dilma Rousseff, and leaders of other international and regional organizations, attended the event.
what has been done [the new BRICS members] does not add to the group’s value?
Erm, the addition of KSA and Iran gives BRICS control of the world's energy!
