Media center wins journalists' praise

As thousands of journalists from around the world started working at the news center of the BRICS Summit, many said they were impressed by the considerate arrangements, professionalism and hospitality they have encountered.

They were preparing for the next few intensive days, focusing on the future of BRICS and its impact on their own countries.

"I took part in many international events, but this experience is unique because in every part of the organization of this summit, we saw professionalism," said Aly Diouf, head of tourism and information and communication technology columns at Soleil Business magazine in Senegal.
