The bloc currently runs on a chairmanship that rotates between member states each year, with no standing institution behind it. A permanent secretariat would give BRICS a fixed headquarters and a full-time staff to carry its agenda forward year-round.
“To enhance efficiency and accelerate the implementation of BRICS decisions, measures such as resisting unilateral sanctions, transforming competition into cooperation, and establishing a permanent secretariat are necessary,” the president said.
The president set out three areas of particular interest within the bloc, namely political coordination grounded in the UN Charter and respect for national sovereignty, economic and financial relations built independently of “monopolistic instruments,” and wider cooperation on science, technology, energy, and food security.
Speaking a day earlier at the BRICS Business Forum, Pezeshkian pressed members to trade in their own national currencies and to build payment and financing channels that no single country can shut off.
He called for mechanisms to manage currency risks and settle payments between members, and proposed turning the New Development Bank (NDB) into a main funding source for infrastructure and energy projects through local-currency lending and credit lines.
Iran's central bank governor Abdolnasser Hemmati said on 12 August that the country would soon join the BRICS NDB, as Tehran sought bilateral and trilateral monetary arrangements with member states to trade in national currencies and work around increasingly tightening western sanctions.
Speaking on Palestine, Pezeshkian said whether the Palestinian people are able to exercise their right to self-determination amounts to “a serious test of the credibility and legitimacy of global governance,” adding that “any just solution requires respect for the will of the Palestinian people.”
He said the bloc, “as a voice of justice, must play a more active role in ending the occupation and guaranteeing their legitimate rights.”
