TV BRICS is expanding its network of partners in ASEAN countries and has begun cooperation with Malaysia, according to TV BRICS. 

The Malaysian National News Agency, Bernama, has joined the information exchange through the TV BRICS International Media Network. 

At the 28th St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF), an agreement on joint work was signed by Ivan Polyakov, Chairman of TV BRICS, and Nur-ul Afida Kamaludin, CEO of Bernama.

The partners' cooperation will be aimed at strengthening ties between BRICS and ASEAN countries in the field of mass communications and forming an objective international agenda. With the assistance of TV BRICS, Malaysia will gain access to the latest news from other countries from primary media sources and will be able to promote its own content abroad.

"Apart from providing services to its clients using wires, Bernama also provides news broadcasts through its own BERNAMA radio and television channel, which operated 24 hours a day as well as its social media platforms. Bernama prioritises collaboration with international news agencies to ensure that its content can reach audiences on various platforms at the regional and global levels," she added, "This partnership reflects Bernama's ongoing commitment to building an international media network that supports balanced reporting, promotes intercultural dialogue and expands its reach to the BRICS region and beyond" said CEO of Bernama Nur-ul Afida Kamaludin.

Bernama, Malaysia's National News Agency, was established in 1968. Its headquarters are located in Kuala Lumpur. Bernama, which includes the Bernama.com portal, the 24-hour Bernama TV channel and BERNAMA radio, specialises in socio-economic and political topics and is the main source of information in Malaysia. 

It operates in Malay, English, Chinese, Tamil, Arabic, and Spanish. Bernama has a network of partners in all ASEAN countries and other Asian states, as well as in Europe and the United States.

"The TV BRICS International Media Network supports and regularly covers Malaysia's active participation in organisations such as ASEAN and BRICS. We also note the important contribution of Bernama News Agency in promoting the potential of Malaysia and ASEAN countries in the global information space. I am confident that the information partnership between Bernama and TV BRICS will contribute to further rapprochement between the peoples of our countries in the interests of global stability, the development of multilateral cooperation in the field of culture, sustainable economy, scientific, and industrial cooperation," said Chairman of TV BRICS Ivan Polyakov.

Malaysia became the 27th country to officially join the international information exchange through TV BRICS, with the media network's information presence reaching more than 80 countries.

In May 2025, Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim gave a big exclusive interview to the TV BRICS International Media Network at the 16th International Economic Forum "Russia – Islamic World: KazanForum."
