According to the Official Gazette of the Rio municipality, the newly formed Rio BRICS Committee will provide institutional and financial support for relevant projects and events organised by public entities, international organisations, and non-profit civil associations that may be included in the BRICS Rio Calendar.
Over 100 official meetings are scheduled between February and July, though all will be held in Brasilia. As of now, only the summit has been confirmed to take place in Rio de Janeiro.
