BRAZIL - New Deal with India on Minerals

Brazil and India sealed a deal on critical minerals and rare earths, enhancing cooperation on crucial resources between two major countries of the global south as they seek to diversify their trading relationships.

Brazil has the world’s second-largest reserves of rare earth minerals, used in a wide range of products, including smartphones, electric vehicles, solar panels and jet engines.

Commentary: Brazil and India are members of BRICS, a rather loosely organized movement attempting to unite the global south. The original members, Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa, established the group in 2006 as an informal coordination mechanism. The purpose?

The objectives of BRICS include strengthening economic, political, and social cooperation among its members, as well as increasing the influence of Global South countries in international governance. The group seeks to improve the legitimacy, equity in participation, and efficiency of global institutions such as the UN, IMF, World Bank, and WTO. Moreover, it aims to bolster sustainable social and economic development and promote social inclusion.

Although China is a major part of it, BRICS is showing the potential of other large supernational organizations that stand in between the West, led by the USA, and the East by China.

We note one of the major advantages for Brazil is the “reserves of rare earth minerals.” That’s much needed for high-tech products such as smartphones and even jet engines.

From Biblical prophetic aspects, we see this as just another step toward greater unity among ever-growing power blocs, to ultimately form the one-world government under the leadership of “the beast.” It’s just a question of when.
