"If they ask Venezuela whether we want to join the BRICS at some point — Venezuela says yes, we would like to be part of the BRICS and take part in the construction of this new architecture and global policy," Maduro said at a press conference, following his meeting with Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva.
BRICS, formed by five powerful countries, is transforming into a big magnet for those who want another world based on peace and cooperation, the president added.
Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva said on Monday that he is in favor of the possibility of Venezuela joining BRICS.
"If you ask what I think, then I will tell you that I am in favor of this," Lula said at a press conference, following his meeting with Maduro, answering a relevant question.
At the same time, such initiatives should be coordinated by all countries, Lula added.
