The BRICS Forum 2025 will become a unique platform for interaction among political and business leaders from participating countries, as well as representatives from other states interested in expanding cooperation. Unlike traditional international events, it focuses on the regional level, allowing for a deeper exploration of practical cooperation issues. One of the main tasks of the forum is the exchange of innovations and best practices aimed at sustainable development of cities and regions. Successful initiatives in areas such as ecology, transport, digitalization, healthcare, and social infrastructure will be discussed during the event, enabling participants to adapt these solutions to local conditions. An important aspect will also be establishing a dialogue between representatives of regional and municipal authorities to form effective models of cooperation, information exchange, and joint project implementation.
The business program of the forum covers current challenges and opportunities for cooperation at regional, national, and international levels. Key topics will include the development of transport and energy infrastructure, the implementation of digital technologies, cooperation in ecology and sustainable development, support for small and medium-sized businesses, as well as enhancing the export potential of regions. The program reflects the strategic focus of the forum on creating long-term mechanisms for interaction and partnerships between countries and their regions.
Cooperation between Russia and Central Asia, especially with Kyrgyzstan, within the context of the BRICS Municipal Forum is becoming increasingly relevant. Key areas include the economy, trade, energy, ecology, and education. Currently, there is a growth in trade turnover due to the simplification of customs procedures and the development of transport infrastructure. Kyrgyz regions are showing interest in attracting Russian investments and jointly entering third markets within the framework of BRICS+. Projects in the field of renewable energy sources and rational use of natural resources are underway: projects for the construction of small hydropower plants and solar power stations are already being implemented in Kyrgyzstan, while the Russian side is intensifying the development of gas infrastructure. Additionally, student exchange and professional development programs tailored to the needs of both countries' economies are planned. Kyrgyz President Sadyr Japarov announced plans to implement projects aimed at improving the country's transport connectivity with Russia, China, Iran, and other states. Expanding such cooperation through the BRICS forum will provide Kyrgyzstan with the opportunity to strengthen its position in regional integration and improve the quality of life in border regions, while Russia will be able to enhance its strategic influence in the Eurasian space.
Thus, the joint efforts of countries allow for the creation of sustainable development in the modern world. Open dialogue and partnership between international communities form a solid foundation for harmonious interaction between humans and nature, ensuring the well-being of future generations. Each region and state contributes its unique input, making collaborative work more constructive and effective, while sustainable development becomes an achievable goal for the entire world.
