Ufa, Brix, SCO and EAEU

Today, July 8 in Ufa, the Brix and SCO summit begin work. Will last until July 10. The main topic of BRICS will have economic issues, at the SCO summit, it seems to be announced the beginning of the expansion of the organization. In the course of the case, the EAEU will also connect to the summits in some form. Now - in order.

BRICS

BRICS- from English. Brics: Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa. A little strange, because (not counting India and, possibly, South Africa), English language does not dominate anywhere. But (this Wikipedia ) "The sequence of letters in the word is determined not only by goodness, but also by the fact that the word in the English transcription of Brics is very similar to the English word Bricks -" bricks ", this term is used as a designation of a group of countries, due to the growth of which the future growth of the world economy will be largely ensured."

Yuri Ushakov

Accordingly, since the economy is encrypted in the abbreviation, it will be about the economy. Assistant Presidential Assistance to the President of the Russian Federation, Yu. Ushakov, has already said that at the Center for negotiations at the BRICS summit there will be issues of recovery of the international economic situation and the actions of member states to expand mutual trade and investment ties, promoting a joint agenda within the framework of the Group twenty. In addition, "the reform of the management system of the International Monetary Fund remains relevant, an increase in the role of rapidly developing economies in the fund." Plus, it is planned to discuss the functioning of the new BRICS development bank and a currency reserves pool (an agreement on the creation of the BRICS development bank was signed last July).

Yu.USHAKOV said that among the priorities of Russia - “strengthening BRICS as a full -format mechanism of strategic and current interaction on key issues of world policy and economics. The program of the Chairmanship of the Russian Federation provides for about 110 measures to develop cooperation in various fields.” There is also a theme of the BRICS economic partnership strategy. In the document, it is planned to determine the priorities of the further movement of the association and the specific mechanisms for the implementation of the goals of the organization. It is reported that the development of the strategy is almost completed, and Russia is ready to offer partners to supplement the strategy with a set of specific investment projects.

In addition to the economy, there will also be some politics, although not in a completely official format: “In closed mode and during the working lunch, all the current issues of the international agenda, including Ukraine, including Greece and a terrorist threat from the Islamic State, will be considered,” Ushakov said. Finally, it is supposed to accept the “Ufa Declaration” and a plan of action.

But then how ... no matter how much we say that "four Brick countries seek to form a political club" or "union", and transform "their growing economic power into a greater geopolitical influence", in the framework of some intelligible and household paradigm of an economic nature, this is not easy to do. Because all 5 are different, and they are not to say that they are not far from each other. Accordingly, here is more natural the regulation of bilateral interests within the framework of the BRICS. For example, the day before, the President of South Africa D. Zum has already arrived, and the adviser to the President of the Russian Federation A. Kobyakov said that “two significant memorandum between Russia and the South African Republic” will be signed as part of the summit. First: "Rosatom" and the Ministry of Energy of South Africa will agree on the training of personnel in the field of nuclear energy and the promotion of atomic energy in the South African Republic. " And also: "The second major contract should take place between" Rosgeology "and South Africa on the implementation of exploration in the African region." The case is useful, but, in general, not documents for the whole of Brix at once.

SHOS

To begin with, Wikipedia : “The Shanghai Cooperation Organization was founded in 2001 by the leaders of China, Russia, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan. With the exception of Uzbekistan, the rest of the countries were participants in the“ Shanghai Five ”, founded as a result of signing in 1996-1997 between Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Chinese, Russia and China, Russia and China, Russia and Chinese, Russia and Chinese, Russia and Chinese, Russia and Chinese, Russia and Chines Tajikistan agreements on strengthening confidence in the military field and mutual reduction of the armed forces in the border area ... is not a military unit (such as NATO) or an open regular security meeting (such as ARF ASEAN), but occupies an intermediate position of the organization of the procurement of stability and security in a wide space uniting the participating state, participating in the participating state. The fight against terrorism, separatism, extremism, drug trafficking, the development of economic cooperation, energy partnership, scientific and cultural interaction. " It is clear that all participants have some kind of motivation.

He has no relationship with Brix, so in this case there is simply the unity of the place and time in the form of Ufa. In addition, this year Russia presides both the BRICS and the SCO. At the same time, only Russia and China are included in the BRICS and the SCO, so here, rather, the general convenience for the organizers, and not the guidance of a certain bridge. Moreover, the economy in connection with the SCO summit is not said in the first place. Actually, there is generally a little .

The already mentioned assistant to the President of the Russian Federation, Ushakov, said that "it is planned to make 14 decisions at the summit: 11 subscriptions and two decisions are not subscription. The main document is the Ufa Declaration, the decision to approve the SCO development strategy until 2025, two decisions on the beginning of the procedure for taking India and Pakistan."

BRICS, SCO and EAEU

The EAEU, that is, the Eurasian Economic Union, consists of Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, the Russian Federation. And, from May 21, 2015, Kyrgyzstan. Also on May 25, 2015, Vietnam entered the Zone of Free Trade with the EAEU countries. According to the definition, the EAEU "was created in order to comprehensive modernization, cooperation and increase the competitiveness of national economies and create conditions for stable development in the interests of improving the living standards of member states." That's what the EEC version is. But improved, of course - how else? The well -known theme of Ukraine, which complicated the topic somewhat with its non -profit, and only then at all.

As for the Ufa interaction of the EAEU with BRICS and the SCO, it will be purely informal. Moreover, China will provide a connection: Ushakov added that the key to the summit in Ufa may be the key point of the Eurasian Economic Union with the Chinese project "Silk Road". Moreover, the importance is emphasized: "Undoubtedly, this topic will be discussed in Ufa. In particular, it will be discussed at an informal meeting of the leaders of the BRICS, the leaders of the SCO with the leaders of the Eurasian Economic Union. This topic will undoubtedly be discussed. Moreover, it can be of a key character during this discussion." In general, it turns out that the "Silk Road" can unite everyone in Ufa at once. But the actual machine, of course: it is also reported that "the leaders of the SCO and BRICS countries in declarations according to the results of summits in Ufa will call to the diplomatic settlement of the situation in Ukraine without military intervention and the complete implementation of the Minsk agreements."
