French President Emmanuel Macron wants to attend the BRICS summit (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa) to be held in South Africa. The post writes about it Idea with reference to sources.
The newspaper states that the French president hopes to attend the summit “in search of rapprochement with emerging powers”.
“As far as we know, the French president has asked his South African counterpart, Cyril Ramaphosa, who will be hosting the next meeting in the autumn, to allow him to come,” the article says.
The publication itself describes the idea as “somewhat crazy”, as Macron will be on the forum of an association that “want to compete with US-led global governance.” Opinion states that Macron could be the first Western leader to attend the summit of the very closed BRICS club.
South African authorities looking for wayswill allow US President Vladimir Putin to attend the BRICS summit in person. One solution is for Putin to be represented at the summit by the Russian Foreign Ministry, and the other is for the Russian President to participate via video link.
In addition, South Africa may turn its face to China, which hosted the BRICS summit last year, to host the meeting this time.
The preliminary hearing room of the International Criminal Court in The Hague, whose jurisdiction Russia does not recognize, issued an arrest warrant for Russian President Vladimir Putin on March 17.
South Africa recognizes the jurisdiction of the ICC, so the country will have to arrest Putin if he comes to the summit. Diplomatic immunity to be granted by the authorities of the Republic of South Africa (South Africa) to meeting participants does not cancel order action.
