CURRENT FORMS OF RUSSIAN-CHINESE COOPERATION IN THE HUMANITARIAN SPHERE

The authors analyze the results of the 15th BRICS summit, held at the end of August 2023 in Johannesburg, which became a turning point and anniversary.The main postulates of the further development of this integration platform are submitted for public discussion within the framework of the signed Declaration of the participating states and are based on the various ideas expressed by representatives of various actors involved in the process of expanding this association and in preparing the transition of leadership for a year in the integration community to Russia.The authors put forward hypotheses on the integral counteraction to the answers to the current challenges of the geopolitical agenda of the hegemonic Anglo-Saxon influence, which should gradually be replaced by alternative and fairer "rules of the game" and creative mutual creation of other states working in the wake of the UN SDGs, based on the basic principles of international law and in the ongoing further consolidation of various types of economies while fundamentally integrating them into a polycentric and multipolar world of equal opportunities and responsible choices.
