The agreement was signed at the 28th St. Petersburg International Economic Forum by Ivan Polyakov, Chairman of TV BRICS, and Natalia Dorpeko, Executive Director of the UN Global Compact Network Russia. As part of the cooperation, TV BRICS will provide media support to Russian businesses in the areas of corporate social responsibility and sustainable development. It will also support the promotion of Russian business interests and best practices through the platforms of leading media outlets in BRICS+ countries. The parties agreed to cooperate on promoting best practices in sustainable development and social responsibility, including implementing media, cultural and educational projects aimed at fostering international knowledge exchange and expanding business partnerships in line with the UN 2030 Agenda. 'In 2025, several milestone anniversaries will be marked in connection with the work of the United Nations: the 80th anniversary of the entry into force of the UN Charter; the 25th anniversary of the UN Global Compact, the world's largest initiative for implementing the sustainable development agenda; the 10th anniversary of the Millennium Declaration 'Transforming our World: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development', which includes the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals (Agenda 2030); and the 10th anniversary of the Paris Agreement, a legally binding international treaty adopted under the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change,' stated Natalia Dorpeko. 'The signing of the Agreement between the UN Global Compact Network Russia and TV BRICS is highly symbolic in this context and holds special potential for advancing international cooperation on the UN's sustainable development agenda.' TV BRICS Chairman Ivan Polyakov noted that the International Media Network has cooperated with the United Nations since 2018 and has extensive experience in media campaigns supporting the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). He added that the mission of the UN Global Compact and the work of its Russian network are closely aligned with the strategic objectives of TV BRICS. The UN Global Compact is an international initiative for business in the field of corporate social responsibility and sustainable development. It currently brings together around 25,500 companies and organisations from 167 countries, including about 4,500 from BRICS countries. The UN Global Compact Network Russia supports the implementation of Russia's National Development Goals.

Malaysia's national news agency Bernama joins TV BRICS media network
Malaysia's national news agency, Bernama, has joined the TV BRICS International Media Network, signing a cooperation agreement at the 28th St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF). The agreement on joint work was signed by Nur-ul Afida Kamaludin, CEO of Bernama, and Ivan Polyakov, Chairman of TV BRICS. The partnership is aimed at strengthening media ties between BRICS and ASEAN countries and contributing to an objective international agenda. The cooperation will give Malaysia access to news from other countries from primary media sources and allow it to promote its own content abroad. 'Apart from providing services to its clients using wires, Bernama also provides news broadcasts through its own BERNAMA radio and television channel, which operates 24 hours a day as well as its social media platforms,' said Nur-ul Afida Kamaludin, CEO of Bernama. 'Bernama prioritises collaboration with international news agencies to ensure that its content can reach audiences on various platforms at the regional and global levels. This partnership reflects Bernama's ongoing commitment to building an international media network that supports balanced reporting, promotes intercultural dialogue and expands its reach to the BRICS region and beyond.' Bernama was established in 1968 and its headquarters are in Kuala Lumpur. The agency, which includes the portal, the 24-hour Bernama TV channel and BERNAMA radio, specialises in socio-economic and political topics and is a main source of information in Malaysia. It operates in Malay, English, Chinese, Tamil, Arabic, and Spanish, and has a network of partners across ASEAN, Asia, Europe and the United States. 'The TV BRICS International Media Network supports and regularly covers Malaysia's active participation in organisations such as ASEAN and BRICS. We also note the important contribution of Bernama News Agency in promoting the potential of Malaysia and ASEAN countries in the global information space,' said Ivan Polyakov, Chairman of TV BRICS. 'I am confident that the information partnership between Bernama and TV BRICS will contribute to further rapprochement between the peoples of our countries in the interests of global stability, the development of multilateral cooperation in the field of culture, sustainable economy, scientific, and industrial cooperation.' Malaysia is the 27th country to officially join the international information exchange through TV BRICS, and the media network's information presence now reaches more than 80 countries. In May 2025, Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim gave an exclusive interview to the TV BRICS International Media Network at the 16th International Economic Forum 'Russia – Islamic World: KazanForum.'

Media cooperation crucial for SDGs, SPIEF session hears
Media cooperation, particularly among BRICS+ countries, is essential for raising awareness and achieving the U.N. Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), participants said at a session of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF). The session, moderated by TV BRICS Chairman Ivan Polyakov, was dedicated to the 25th anniversary of the United Nations (UN) Global Compact, the world's largest corporate initiative for engaging businesses in achieving the SDGs. Panelists agreed on the need to raise awareness of the 2030 Agenda and create a multipolar media space for sustainable development. Tatiana Valovaya, Director-General of the United Nations Office at Geneva and Under-Secretary-General of the United Nations, said the SDGs are unattainable without the participation of business. She recalled that companies from 160 countries that share principles of responsibility, human rights, and environmental protection have joined the compact. 'The SDGs are focused on the 2030 horizon. But sustainable development, as a model of economic and social development for humanity, will not end by that time,' Valovaya said. 'On the contrary, our task is to make every effort now not only to achieve the goals set, but also to rethink our mentality, economic and social policies during this period so that beyond the 2030 horizon, humanity will continue on the path of sustainable development.' Natalia Dorpeko, Executive Director of the UN Global Compact Network Russia, highlighted the need to disseminate information about the contributions of states and businesses to achieving the goals. 'If there were greater awareness of what each country is doing, what businesses are doing, and what contribution experts, science and education are making to the sustainable development agenda, this would allow us to form new partnerships, create platforms and integrate successes and experience,' the expert emphasised. Igor Korotetsky, a partner at the audit and consulting company Kept, said insufficient promotion of the 2030 Agenda by governments, businesses, and even the UN was slowing progress. 'In this sense, the media is one of the most important communication tools,' Korotetsky added. Hector Isidro Arenas Neira, Ambassador of Colombia to the Russian Federation, recalled that his country first initiated the formulation of sustainable development goals. He said constant dialogue between the state, business and society, which the Global Compact facilitates, is important to overcome global challenges like the climate crisis. Russian business representatives affirmed their commitment to the SDGs. Elena Feoktistova of the Russian Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs (RSPP) said Russian business continues to implement principles of responsible conduct. Irina Bakhtina, Chief Sustainability Officer at RUSAL, noted that the company has published sustainability reports for 20 years. Zakhar Azarov, an advisor at 'Severstal,' added that the company is deepening partnerships with BRICS countries to transfer successful social and environmental practices. Vyacheslav Fetisov, First Deputy Chair of the State Duma's Committee on Ecology, Natural Resources and Environmental Protection, also emphasised the growing responsibility of business and the importance of raising environmental awareness. Reflecting the session's theme, TV BRICS and the UN Global Compact Network Russia signed a media partnership agreement at SPIEF. The parties agreed to cooperate on promoting sustainable development and social responsibility through joint information, cultural, and educational projects.

The cooperation agreement was signed by Ivan Polyakov, chairman of TV BRICS, and Ilya Ilyushin, director of the Federal Centre for Agricultural Export Development (Agroexport), at the 28th St. Petersburg International Economic Forum. According to the agreement, the joint activities will aim to build a positive image of Russia's agricultural sector in the global information space. This will involve showcasing national industry-leading companies, promoting Russian products abroad, and involving agricultural and processing enterprises in export activities. 'Media play an important role in supporting Russia's agro-industrial complex, helping to promote products in foreign markets and form a positive image of the industry. Today we face a crucial task – to develop a global dialogue among friendly nations,' said Ilya Ilyushin, head of Agroexport. 'I am confident that cooperation with TV BRICS will enable us to promptly deliver all necessary information about the development of trade relations among BRICS countries to a multibillion audience.' Ivan Polyakov of TV BRICS emphasised that food security and the sustainable development of agriculture are a priority for the network's agenda, as they align with the U.N. Sustainable Development Goals. The network cited its series of television films, 'Agroparallels,' produced with its Brazilian partner Agro+ TV and dedicated to agricultural cooperation between the two countries, as an example of its work in this area. Polyakov also announced the upcoming premiere in 2025 of a new television project, 'BRICS GRAIN,' which will focus on sustainable agricultural development, support for agricultural diplomacy, and strengthening cooperation between Russia and countries of the Global South and East. Agroexport, established by the Ministry of Agriculture of Russia, is a centre for expertise in agricultural exports. It coordinates and monitors the implementation of the federal project 'Agro-Industrial Exports' and cooperates with regional agricultural bodies to develop Russia's export potential. The centre provides analysis of foreign markets, assesses trade barriers, and assists Russian exporters in obtaining information and building direct communication with international buyers of Russian agricultural products.

At the same time, in 2025, the positive results of Russia's BRICS Chairmanship in 2024 will be summarised. It is important to note that the BRICS group was initiated by the Russian Federation, the first BRICS summit was held in Russia in June 2006, and our country also chaired the group during the 15th anniversary of BRICS. The signing of the Agreement between the UN Global Compact Network Russia and TV BRICS is highly symbolic in this context and holds special potential for advancing international cooperation on the UN's sustainable development agenda,' stated Natalia Dorpeko. TV BRICS Chairman Ivan Polyakov noted that since 2018 the International Media Network has been cooperating with the United Nations and has extensive experience in conducting media campaigns in support of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The mission of the UN Global Compact and the important work of the UN Global Compact Network Russia are closely aligned with the strategic objectives of TV BRICS, which lays the groundwork for effective and long-term cooperation. Ivan Polyakov particularly emphasised that efforts to promote the Global Compact agenda will take into account the development priorities of BRICS, its partner countries, and the BRICS+ format. In 2018, a cooperation agreement was signed between TV BRICS and the UN Secretariat (represented by the UN Department of Public Information). TV BRICS was included in the international SDG Media Compact, an initiative launched by the UN to consolidate media support for the promotion of the SDG concept. TV BRICS initiates and promotes a number of international projects on sustainable development topics via its partner media in BRICS+ countries. For instance, to popularise quality education, TV BRICS has established ongoing cooperation with universities and research centres across different nations. TV BRICS regularly produces and disseminates information materials on global challenges such as poverty, hunger, inequality, and climate change. The TV BRICS International Media Network strengthens global partnerships, including in the media and communications sector, working with over 100 major media outlets in 26 countries around the world. To support sustainable agricultural development, the TV series 'Agroparallels' was produced in collaboration with a partner in Brazil. In 2025, a new television project titled 'BRICS GRAIN' will be launched. The UN Global Compact is an international initiative for business in the field of corporate social responsibility and sustainable development. Its mission is to mobilise responsible companies that, under various political, economic, environmental, cultural, geographical, and other conditions, share and implement a common set of ethical principles in the areas of human rights, labour, environment, and anti-corruption, while also supporting and working towards the UN Sustainable Development Goals. The UN Global Compact continues to show dynamic growth in participation, currently bringing together around 25,500 companies and organisations from 167 countries worldwide, including the Russian Federation. Approximately 4,500 of these companies are from BRICS countries. The UN Global Compact Network Russia supports the implementation of Russia's National Development Goals up to 2030 and beyond to 2036. It is engaged in systematic project work and the representation of Russian business interests and best practices on global platforms. The network's activities aim to affirm the proactive stance of Russian business in seeking optimal sustainable development pathways, as well as its readiness to contribute intellectually, organisationally, and informationally to further advancing global UN initiatives in social responsibility and sustainable development, in cooperation with a wide range of stakeholders and based on fair national priorities. The agreement between TV BRICS and the UN Global Compact Network Russia will contribute to the implementation of the UN General Assembly Resolution 'Towards global partnerships: a principle-based approach to enhanced cooperation between the United Nations and all relevant partners". The resolution recognises the important role of national Global Compact networks in fostering partnerships with international business communities at the national level and in supporting the implementation of the sustainable development agenda within their countries. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream News Shell Unveils Cost-Cutting, LNG Growth Plan Technology 50-Year Soviet Spacecraft 'Kosmos 482' Crashes into Indian Ocean
