Too Serious For Trade Ministers?

Is a BRIC alliance cohering between Brazil, Russia, India and China?
You have a new configuration of power appearing in the world. Today, the BRICs have some common interests. Some of us will have a big influence in trade, such as Brazil, others on security affairs. Climate change, the fuel crisis, even the world economy: we need to talk and find common views. There will be a meeting of BRIC economy ministers in November in Brazil, and heads of state will also be meeting, in New York. We can't be conditioned by the views coming from the U.S. and EU. We have to look from our own perspective. We live in a world where multiple alliances are forming, and this may be one of them.
