The organization is gaining control over key areas of global influence, Herbert Martin, head of the Vienna Geopolitical Institute (IGPI), told RIA Novosti.
"BRICS with Russia, China and other countries are working gradually, level by level, to take control".
- said the expert, commenting on the change in the global balance of power and the strengthening of the BRICS.
He noted that Russia and China have already begun to surpass the United States in several areas, including the military and satellite sectors, and in the financial sector the yuan continues to strengthen, while the dollar, on the contrary, faces difficulties.
