In short
- Ethiopia has presented a proposed BRICS sports cooperation framework intended to turn broad commitments into joint programmes and partnerships.
Ethiopia proposed a practical framework for sports cooperation among BRICS members at the bloc’s 2026 sports ministers’ meeting in Visakhapatnam, India, on August 23, 2026.
The proposal is intended to move cooperation beyond general commitments and toward concrete programmes and partnerships, according to Fana Broadcasting Corporate. Ethiopia also called for stronger practical collaboration among member countries in the sports sector.
The initiative places Ethiopia within a wider BRICS effort to deepen cooperation in fields beyond diplomacy and trade. The source report did not provide details on which programmes would begin first or whether members had formally adopted the proposed framework.
Further information from the participating governments will be needed to establish the framework’s timetable, funding and implementation arrangements.
