The discussion was opened by the moderator – Afrizal Naufal Ghani, as Head of the Strategic Studies and Action Department of BEM FEB UNAIR – by telling how the superpower United States has now begun to lose its prestige, followed by the emergence of the regional power BRICS – consisting of Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa – which is suspected to be able to shift the hegemony of the United States.
In the middle of the forum, Mr. Ali Affandi gave a brief discussion regarding BRICS itself. He interacted with the participants present at the GKM AULA that afternoon by asking the question, "Which coalition of forces will survive, the G7 or the BRICS?" From this question, Mr. Ali Affandi also said that he hoped that in the future students would understand about BRICS and understand what students could expect from BRICS in the future.
