Putin hosts 36 world leaders at Brics summit in Kazan

theguardian.com October 22, 2024, 03:00 PM UTC

Summary: Russian President Vladimir Putin hosted 36 world leaders at the Brics summit in Kazan, aiming to showcase Russia's global influence despite Western isolation. This marks the largest international gathering for Putin since the Ukraine invasion in 2022.

The summit includes leaders from China, India, and Iran, with discussions on expanding Brics membership. The group seeks to counter Western economic dominance, particularly the influence of the U.S. dollar.

UN Secretary-General António Guterres's attendance remains uncertain, as his spokesperson did not confirm plans. The summit reflects a shift in global alliances, with Brics aiming to create economic platforms less affected by U.S. sanctions.
