Putin on the participants of Outreach BRICS+:

Putin on the participants of Outreach BRICS : This expanded format has proven itself well and provides an opportunity for direct and open dialogue between the members of the association and our friends and partners. Let me remind you that last year, the heads of many African states and heads of key regional organizations were invited to the meeting in Johannesburg. And this time, the Russian presidency has invited Russia’s closest neighbors, friendly countries with which we share a common history of life in a single state. Also present here are the heads of states that are interested in establishing a closer partnership with BRICS and are even considering the prospects of membership in the association. And the countries that currently head the leading multilateral structures. That is, we have countries from Europe, Asia, Africa and Latin America represented at the same table.
