This international institution is of particular importance in the modern relations between different countries which have gone through considerable changes. These changes are related to the recent pandemic, as well as the sanctions war gathering its pace straight away. One of the leading roles in BRICS today belongs to China. China is one of the world's the most rapidly growing economic systems. The scholarly inquiry of the contribution and potency of the PRC in the BRICS is of great theoretical and practical importance. The results of this study can be applied in various fields, including educational activities, economic, political, and international trade activities.
