who sought to participate in the events of the upcoming BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa) summit, did not receive an invitation, a South African news outlet reported.
South African President Cyril Ramaphosa, as chairman of the BRICS, sent invitations to the leaders of 70 countries to the unification summit, but neither French President Macron nor the leaders of the United States and United Kingdom are among those invited, the publication said.
The BRICS summit will be held at the Johannesburg Sandton International Conference Center from August 22 to 24. It will begin with the opening of the Business Forum. On August 23, the central part of the BRICS summit will take place, during which a meeting of the leaders of the member countries of the association will be held under the chairmanship of Ramaphosa, while part of the event will be held in a closed format.

Along with the heads of state and government of Africa, 11 leaders of countries of the Global South, representing regional organizations such as the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), the Caribbean Community (CARICOM), the Group of 77 (G77), the Cooperation Council for the Arab States of the Persian Gulf (GCC), were invited to the events. Russian President Vladimir Putin will participate online in all sessions of the leaders of the BRICS member countries.
