MOSCOW (Sputnik) - South African President Cyril Ramaphosa said on Sunday that next month's BRICS summit in Johannesburg will be held in person.
"We are going to have a physical BRICS summit … It's not going to be virtual," Ramaphosa said in a video posted on his Twitter account.
The BRICS leaders have not held in-person meetings for almost three years, the president recalled.
BRICS unites the world's largest emerging economies — Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa. South Africa, which assumed the rotating BRICS presidency in January, is expected to host the 15th BRICS summit in Johannesburg from August 22-24.
