Syrian President Joins BRICS’ Call for a Multipolar World Order
During a meeting with China's envoy for the Middle East, Zhai Jun, Syrian President Bashar Assad urged the BRICS countries to take the lead in abandoning the use of the U.S. dollar for international settlements.
He also recommended the adoption of the Chinese yuan for cross-border trade. Assad believes that moving away from the dollar as a currency for global transactions has become more crucial due to the current economic confrontation between the United States and the West.
Assad commended China’s effective mediation efforts that facilitated reconciliation between Saudi Arabia and Iran. Assad hopes this improvement in their relationship will bring stability to the entire region.
Assad further emphasized the significance of China’s involvement in global affairs, both politically and economically, to achieve a more balanced global situation. He also lauded the strength of the BRICS alliance, which has the potential to create a more diverse international order. Both nations have expressed interest in joining BRICS.
China has been actively trying to expand its influence and reduce its dependence on the U.S. dollar. It has initiated talks about the potential enlargement of BRICS and has been promoting the use of the yuan in international trade.
The Chinese envoy, for his part, promised continued support for Syria in its battle against terrorism and external interference.

Assad’s comments come amid increasing geopolitical tensions between the West and China, which have spilled over into the economic sphere. The United States has been imposing sanctions on countries such as Syria, Iran, and Russia to maintain its hegemony and protect its interests.
The BRICS countries, which include Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa, have been seeking to challenge the dominance of the U.S. dollar and promote a more multipolar world order.
