BRICS building more democratic multipolar world order – Putin: BRICS Summit as it happened | |
(about 5 hours later) | |
Around 20,000 delegates from over 30 countries, including senior officials and heads of state, attended the three-day international forum in Kazan | |
The leaders of Russia, India, China, South Africa, the UAE, and Egypt, as well as the UN secretary-general, gathered in the Russian city of Kazan for the 16th annual BRICS Summit. The event, which has also welcomed a host of potential BRICS partner countries, has been widely seen as a snub to the West and a signal that Russia has not been isolated by Ukraine-related sanctions. | |
The current BRICS member countries are Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, Ethiopia, Egypt, Iran, and the United Arab Emirates. Saudi Arabia has yet to ratify its membership invitation. | The current BRICS member countries are Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, Ethiopia, Egypt, Iran, and the United Arab Emirates.
