The BRICS association is an example of constructive cooperation in the new international environment. This was stated by Russian President Vladimir Putin at a meeting of the Valdai Club.
“The prototype of the new free and non-bloc nature of relations between States and peoples is the community that is now being formed within the framework of the BRICS. This, among other things, clearly illustrates the fact that even among NATO members there are those, as you know, who are interested in working closely with the BRICS.
“I do not exclude that in the future other states will think about closer collaboration with the BRICS… And we are sure that the BRICS will give everyone a good example of truly constructive cooperation in the new international environment.” — Putin said, quoted on the Kremlin’s telegram channel.
