Kazem Jalali, Ambassador of the Islamic Republic of Iran to the Russian Federation, said Iranian President Massoud Pezeshkian will attend the BRICS media summit in Kazan, the capital of Tatarstan.
Kazem Jalali commented on the statement made by Russian presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov. The Kremlin administration spokesman said earlier that Moscow expects the Iranian president’s visit to the BRICS summit to be coordinated through ‘diplomatic channels.’
‘Dear Mr Pezeshkian, the President of the Islamic Republic of Iran will participate in the summit in Kazan,’ Kazem Jalali told TASS in comments.
Recall, earlier Turkish political analyst Umur Tugay Yucel said that Turkey’s membership in the BRICS interstate association is a ‘necessity’ as Ankara sees ‘the spirit of the times and rising new centres of power and civilisation’.
