By Lisandra Paraguassu and Manuela Andreoni RIO DE JANEIRO -Leaders of the growing BRICS group of developing nations met in Brazil on Sunday, calling for reform of traditional Western institutions while presenting the bloc as a defender of multilateral diplomacy in an increasingly fractured world.

BRICS summit ended on Monday in Brazil following threats from US President Donald Trump, to which the group responded asserting its autonomy.

Indonesia's statement might cool down Donald Trump's fears over the BRICS setting up a common currency to undermine the dollar.
