- Ethiopia called for stronger cultural collaboration, knowledge exchange and technology-supported heritage preservation at the BRICS Culture Ministers’ Summit in Bhopal, India.
Ethiopia has called for deeper cultural cooperation among BRICS members, placing knowledge exchange and the use of technology to protect cultural heritage among its priorities.
The proposal was presented during the BRICS Culture Ministers’ Summit held in Bhopal, India, on August 7–8, 2026, according to Fana Broadcasting Corporate. Ethiopia welcomed initiatives intended to strengthen collaboration among member countries and promote their cultural heritage.
The Ethiopian position highlights culture as another area of engagement within the expanded BRICS grouping, alongside its better-known economic and diplomatic work. The appeal also connects heritage preservation with digital tools, an increasingly important issue for documenting, conserving and widening access to cultural materials.
