NEW DELHI, September 12. /TASS/. Russian President Vladimir Putin will continue his working visit to India, where he arrived for the BRICS summit.
Saturday will be the main day devoted to the group’s agenda, with the full program of multilateral events beginning following Putin’s participation in the BRICS Business Forum plenary session on Friday.
The leaders of the BRICS countries will meet in a closed-door session attended exclusively by the group’s members represented at the highest level.
Russian Presidential Aide Yury Ushakov said earlier that the meeting will focus primarily on global and regional issues, reform of global governance and strengthening multilateralism, as well as summing up the BRICS’ 20 years of work and considering prospects for further cooperation within the group.
A final declaration may be adopted at the end of the summit, although this is not a strict requirement. Work is nevertheless continuing on a document reflecting the consolidated views of all BRICS participants, primarily on security, economic and cultural issues.
