BRICS Sherpas on the first meeting of BRICS under Russian chairmanship
Representatives of five new members – Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates – will also take part in the event, which is scheduled for January 30-February 1 in Moscow.
One of the priorities of BRICS activity this year is the harmonious integration of the newcomers into the global work, Russia said.
Traditionally, the sherpas meet to: exchange views on major international issues; discuss urgent issues of cooperation; prepare for upcoming events.
The Russian side is also expected to present in detail the program of its presidency, which will culminate in the BRICS Leaders’ Summit to be held in Kazan in October.
