China, Russia, Brazil show off closer ties - analysis

Recent meetings between Brazil, Russia and China showcase how these countries, and others, are increasingly working together in a world where US influence is perceived as declining. This matters to the Middle East because Brazil is an important economy and looks to be trying to increase its role globally.
The current meetings did not include all three countries, but several types of visits and meetings showcase this phenomenon. For instance, Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, arrived in Brasilia on Monday to meet with Mauro Vieira. The Guardian in the UK noted that this visit would “ruffle” the US. Lavrov is apparently traveling also to Venezuela, Nicaragua and Cuba, Russian state media said. This is a Russian “tour” of South America to shore up its position there.
