Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said in an interview with the TV channel: NTVThat BRICS is an association that should not be transformed into a real organization with a secretariat.
He believes “someone” had nothing to do with doing this.
“This is not necessary in the relatively long term, at least at this stage,” the minister said.
He noted that this association is “a symbol of the desire of the world majority to develop their enterprises together, taking into account each other’s interests equally.”
“This is the future ‘umbrella’ of all sub-regional and regional processes,” the diplomat said.
He also noted that BRICS currently includes countries from Eurasia, Africa, Latin America and the Arab world.
“This is the future,” Lavrov added.
