Developing the strategic partnership within the BRICS will also be discussed, and close attention will be paid to the upcoming 16th BRICS summit in Kazan.

Back in April, Nigeria and Venezuela were eyeing a BRICS membership, given that it is a cooperation platform between the world's biggest emerging economies.

Russia will be presiding over the BRICS annual summit of 2024 succeeding South Africa, prompting Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro to say that the country will soon join the alliance. 

Just three days ago, Hala Elsaid, the Egyptian minister of Economic Development, said in remarks to Sputnik that Egypt aims to enhance collaboration with BRICS nations, and its inclusion in the bloc will facilitate streamlined trade with other African countries.

The minister further noted that Egypt has allocated a substantial portion of public investment toward enhancing infrastructure.

"We look forward to greater interaction with the BRICS countries to facilitate investment and stimulate foreign trade," Elsaid said.
