BRICS currently 'in vogue,' enjoying wide popularity around world, Kremlin spokesman says

The BRICS group of nations currently enjoys great popularity in the world, and one could even say that the group is currently “in vogue” internationally, Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Thursday, Azernews reports, citing TASS.

"The BRICS is an association that currently indeed enjoys great popularity; one could even say that the BRICS group is currently in vogue internationally," he said on Russian TV.

Peskov pointed out that about 15 nations have expressed interest in joining the organization.

"And this issue will be high on the agenda of the BRICS summit, planned for later this year," he underscored.

He pointed out that Algerian President Abdelmadjid Tebboune, who held negotiations with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow today, mentioned his country’s accession to the BRICS as a priority.

The BRICS summit will take place in Johannesburg on August 22-24.
