(Brazil / Tokyo Reuters) Russia requires Brazil to support Russia in major international systems such as the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank and the 20th Guoman Group to help it cope with economic sanctions.Russia revealed that sanctions from Western countries have caused "economic and financial turmoil."
Reuters reported on Thursday (April 14) that it received a letter written by Russian Treasury Secretary Silu Annov to Brazil Economic Minister.The letter said that the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank were behind the operation, trying to restrict or even prevent Russia from participating in the decision -making process.He did not explain what kind of obstacles in Russia encountered, and his appeal could not be verified independently.
The date of this letter is March 30 this year. Wednesday (April 13) was transferred to Brazil's economic minister Gedes by the Russian ambassador to Brazil.
Siluandov did not mention the Russian and Ukraine War in the letter, but the sanctions that appealed by the United States and its allies caused "economic and financial turmoil" to Russia.
He said that nearly half of Russia's international reserves have been frozen and foreign trade has been blocked."The United States and its allies have adopted the policy of isolated Russia in the international community."
He pointed out that these sanctions violated the Breton Forest Agreement principles based on the establishment of the IMF and the World Bank."The crisis driven by the Seven Kingdoms Group and the unprecedented economic sanctions may have long -term consequences unless we take joint operations to resolve it."
Brazil hopes that Russia can continue to participate in multilateral organization discussions
For this letter, Gomez, the Secretary of International Economic Affairs of the Brazilian Ministry of Economic Affairs, said that Brazilian hopes that Russia can continue to participate in discussions of multilateral organizations."Brazil's view is ... to keep a public conversation is crucial. International institutions are our bridge. We believe that these bridges must be retained."
Brazilian President Borsonaro visited Moscow one week ago in the Russian invasion of Ukraine. He also expressed "unity" between the two countries when meeting with Russian President Putin.He has maintained neutrality on the Ukraine crisis and refused to condemn Russia's invasion.Brazilian Foreign Minister also publicly said that Brazil opposes Russia from the G20 Group (G20).These have made the United States Biden Government very dissatisfied.
After Russia entered Ukraine, its G20 member identity problem caused differences within this system.The United States and Western allies strongly advocate Russia, and China and so on show that they support it.
G20 Chairman Guo Indonesia confirmed on Thursday that Silu Annov will attend the financial minister and central bank governor meeting next week.US Finance Minister Yellen has stated last week that the United States will not participate in any G20 meeting with Russian representatives.
