MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Venezuela relies on BRICS and hopes to join the organization during the summit in Russia’s Kazan, Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro said on Monday.
"And I hope that at the next summit in Russia … Venezuela will join BRICS+ as a permanent member," Maduro told Le Monde diplomatique newspaper.
Venezuela relies on BRICS as part of a new balanced world, the Venezuelan president added. He also noted that the refusal of Argentina to join BRICS is a "foolish act" that Argentine President Javier Milei committed against his country.
The BRICS summit will take place in Kazan, Russia in October 2024.
