Brasilia: Reaffirming the need for a comprehensive reform of the United Nations to make it "more effective and efficient", Russia and China today said they understand and support the aspirations of India and Brazil to play a greater role in the world body.
The BRIC countries -- Brazil, Russia, India and China -- also expressed their strong commitment to multilateral diplomacy with the United Nations playing the central role in dealing with global challenges and threats.
In a joint communique issued after the Summit here, the four countries said they reaffirm the need for a comprehensive reform of the UN, with a view to making it more effective, efficient and representative, so that it can deal with today's global challenges more effectively.
"We reiterate the importance we attach to the status of India and Brazil in international affairs, and understand and support their aspirations to play a greater role in the United Nations," the joint communique said.
The four-nation grouping also reiterated the importance of the UN Millennium Declaration and the need to achieve the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).
"We underscore the importance of preventing a potential setback to the efforts of poor countries aimed at achieving MDGs due to the effects of the economic and financial crisis.
"We should also make sustained efforts to achieve the MDGs by 2015, including through technical cooperation and financial support to poor countries in implementation of development policies and social protection for their populations," the joint communique said.
The four countries said they expect the UN MDG Summit in September 2010 to promote the implementation of MDGs through policy recommendations.
"We stress that sustainable development models and paths of developing countries should be fully respected and necessary policy space of developing countries should be guaranteed," they said.
Noting that poorest countries have been the hardest hit by the economic and financial crisis, the communique said the commitments regarding the aid to the developing states, especially those related to the MDGs, should be fulfilled, and there should be no reduction in development assistance.
"An inclusive process of growth for the world economy is not only a matter of solidarity but also an issue of strategic importance for global political and economic stability," they said.
