we all know that US will keep dictating the world rules for a long time, but, in the matter of fact, Amorim is trying to say that there´re some other parties to go. Things have changed!

What is the Brazilian agenda here in Yekaterinburg?
Better coordination at the U.N. and, above all, in the G20. When we started with meetings of foreign and economy ministers, we were not expecting a [financial] crisis like this. But BRIC has proved to be a very good tool for coordinating the positions of these emerging markets which play such a crucial role in the recovery of the world economy.
BRIC in 2050—what it will be like?
I am not sure these will be the four largest economies in the world. Politically, these will be very influential countries. Certainly, what we are doing today will be remembered.
Is it moving towards an alliance?
Too early to tell. Certainly an association, better coordination. Alliance presupposes that you have an enemy. I don't think we have any enemy. We just want to build a better world.
So it's not an alternative to anything?
It is an alternative to unipolar world. But a unipolar world is not sustainable by itself anyway, so we are just helping to create a more multipolar and in that respect – a more democratic world.
