Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan met with Russian counterpart Sergey Lavrov on the sidelines of the Kingdom’s participation in the Brics ministerial meeting in Russia’s Nizhny Novgorod, according to a post by the ministry on X. The talks focused on regional and international developments and bilateral ties. The ministry said the Kingdom was taking part in the ministerial meeting as an “invited country” to join the bloc.

REMEMBER- Officials in Riyadh said earlier this year that the Kingdom is still considering an invitation to join Brics. The remarks in February came after South Africa’s foreign minister said the Kingdom had formally joined the alliance.
