BRICS Conferences

The initiative of holding the First BRIC[1] Competition Conference in Kazan was made by FAS Russia. Over time, the Conference became regular and traditionally takes place once every two years in each of the BRICS countries. At the end of each BRICS Conference, the leaders of the BRICS competition authorities adopt a Joint Statement (Declaration) containing the main areas of cooperation in the BRICS format and mechanisms for their implementation.
