- Story Text: Russian President Vladimir Putin hosted an official reception late on Thursday (July 9) that concluded the two-day BRICS summit in the Russian city of Ufa.
Leaders of Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa clinked glasses with Putin after the summit that finally launched the group's largest initiatives to date -- a development bank and a currency pool.
For Putin, hosting the summit in the city of Ufa, the launch of the bank and the pool had been a key priority, as was the group's ability to sound more unified than at some previous meetings.
The BRICS account for a fifth of the world's economic output and 40 percent of its population. - Copyright Holder: POOL (CAN SELL)
