Caracas, August 25 (RHC)-- Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro highlighted this Thursday during the BRICS group summit, held in the city of Johannesburg, South Africa, the importance of deepening cooperation between the main Latin American media outlet teleSUR and the international network TV BRICS.

The head of state participated in the BRICS Plus Dialogue via videoconference and stressed that a high level of awareness is required to consolidate alliances such as BRICS -- made up of Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa -- and which as of next January will include Argentina, Egypt, Ethiopia, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Iran.

He stated: "We are committed to covering and promoting the political and economic ties of the group of five countries with the main Latin American and Caribbean groupings and blocs, among them the Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America (ALBA) and the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC)." 

In order to consolidate these articulations between peoples and governments, he proposed "to strengthen the communicational alliance through the re-launching of cooperation between TV BRICS and teleSUR, a Latin American and Caribbean multimedia and multi-state platform."

In April 2023, TV BRICS signed a cooperation agreement with teleSUR, one of the most influential media in Latin America.  It is one of the leading platforms broadcasting not only in South America, but also in North America, as well as in Europe, Africa and the Middle East.

TV BRICS sees its cooperation with teleSUR as a strategy, aimed at advancing the agenda of Latin America and the Brics countries globally, joining forces and taking advantage of mutual opportunities to expand multilateral ties between the peoples and BRICS countries and the global South.
