A common position for the BRIC countries

In April 2011, the BRIC countries took a geopolitical common position for the first time in their history. They criticized the European and American military intervention in Libya. And declared that the situation needed to be resolved diplomatically. 

The main goal of this position was to show that they can be united as major political actors.

But the war in Libya is now behind us. The western countries consider this war like a success because their troops forced Colonel Kadhafi to quit the power and the strategy if the BRIC didn’t work. Somehow,  at the moment, they seem not capable to have enough influence on the international scene. Moreover,  the BRIC countries, especially Russia and China, sometimes seem to give priority to their own interests instead of working hand in hand with the others. They try to reinforce their diplomatic unity, but it seems that the way is still very long.
