MOSCOW (Sputnik) - The heads of 24 countries will take part in the BRICS summit in Russia's Kazan, while eight more will be represented by second or third highest-ranking officials, Kremlin aide Yury Ushakov said on Thursday.
Ushakov believs that the range of participants may widen.

"I will note that out of these 32 countries, 24 have confirmed the participation of their leaders in the Kazan summit. Eight countries, according to today's data, will be represented by states' second or third persons. Some 32 states in total. There is still time, and we hope that the range of participants will widen thanks to more countries," Ushakov told reporters.

"Naturally, all of the BRICS member states have confirmed their participation. Nine of them will be represented by their leaders, and only Saudi Arabia will send its foreign minister," Ushakov said.

Ushakov also noted that the West has been exerting pressure on the countries that will participate in the BRICS summit in Kazan and will continue to do so.

“You know what the current situation is, naturally, there was no lack of pressure on certain countries, but, as I have already noted, the representation, including African countries, is quite weighty. But, of course, we are not without pressure, and I think it will continue to be exerted. And probably not all the countries of the world are interested in the success of the Kazan summit, it is quite obvious,” Ushakov told reporters.
