International Municipal BRICS Forum
The International Municipal BRICS Forum is an important platform for the exchange of experience and ideas between representatives of regional and municipal governments from the BRICS countries, as well as for building effective business communications with entrepreneurs from Russia and other partner countries. The event is supported by the Presidential Administration and the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, as well as by the Federal Agency "Rossotrudnichestvo" and the Government of Moscow.
In 2022, the IMBRICS Forum was included in the text of the Beijing Declaration of the XIV BRICS Summit (paragraph 70) and is designated as a significant mechanism for promoting urban development and establishing links between twinning cities of the BRICS countries within the framework of the Sustainable Development Agenda until 2030.
Under the decision of Yuri Ushakov, Assistant to the President of the Russian Federation, the IMBRICS Forum was included in the Action Plan of the Russian Federation's Chairmanship in the BRICS Interstate Association in 2024.
The IMBRICS Forum 2024 was mentioned in the text of the Kazan Declaration of the XVI BRICS Summit (paragraph 128).

As for the BRICS economies, they generally demonstrate sufficient stability, thanks to the responsible macroeconomic, monetary and financial policies of our governments. The majority of our countries expect to report outperforming growth rates. In particular, tentative estimates put average growth in the BRICS economies at 3.8 percent in 2024–2025, while global GDP is estimated to increase by 3.2–3.3 percent in the same period.
It appears that a trend to retain BRICS’ leading positions in the global economy will be consolidated, primarily due to such objective factors as population growth, the accumulation of capital, urbanisation and greater labour productivity, bolstered by technological innovations.
Broad prospects are emerging for cooperation among regions, cities, and municipalities. During the thematic forums held in Moscow, Nizhny Novgorod, and Kazan, discussions were held on the prospects for collaboration in the sphere of sustainable development of municipalities, efficient management of the urban economy and infrastructure, and increasing the accessibility of urban services.

- Sergey SobyaninMayor of Moscow"Moscow is one of the most dynamic cities in the world. The scale and speed of change require digitalisation and electronic master planning in urban development. A ‘Digital Twin’ project has already been created, reflecting the changes taking place both on the surface and in the underground part of the city. I have set a task to develop a dynamic model that allows to forecast the development of Moscow and to solve the issues of providing engineering, transport and social infrastructure in an optimal and comprehensive way. A comfortable investment climate has been created in Moscow, which is evidenced by the volume of investments in the capital's economy in 2023. Last year, approximately RUB 6.8 trillion was invested in the Moscow economy."
- Leonid TyagachyovChairman of the Organising Committee of the International Municipal BRICS Forum, Adviser to the Mayor of Moscow"Today, all BRICS members are interested in strengthening international ties, including trade contacts. The International Municipal BRICS Forum makes a significant contribution to achieving this strategic objective. It is here, through a lively, open discussion, that a common atmosphere of trust is created."
- Valentina MatvienkoChair of the Federation Council of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation"The Forum is a large-scale and expected event in the sphere of international relations. It is held within the framework of an association that reflects the world's aspiration to form an equitable polycentric system of global governance against the background of the unsuitability of the unipolar model that restrains the world development. Over the years, the Forum has established itself as one of the strong and sought-after mechanisms for cooperation between countries on domestic and international agendas to exchange best practices and develop sustainable partnerships at the municipal level."
- Sergey LavrovMinister of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation"I will say without exaggeration that today BRICS acts as an "agent" of the interests of the entire non-Western world. The decision to expand the association, made in Johannesburg in August 2023 when our leaders agreed to accept new participants, was a truly breakthrough achievement. From January 1, 2024, Egypt, Iran, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia and Ethiopia gained their full rights as the members of our association. These countries have significant economic potential, play a significant role not only in their region, but also in the international arena and, most importantly, share the basic values of the BRICS that unite us, including the spirit of solidarity, equality, mutual respect, openness and consensus..."
