Russia Says It Will Support China's Priorities as Incoming BRICS Chair
Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov says Moscow stands ready to back Beijing's agenda, though China has not yet outlined a formal framework for its chairmanship, according to TASS.
Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov said Russia will support the priorities set by China as it takes on the chairmanship of the BRICS group, according to a report by the Russian state news agency TASS.
Ryabkov said China has not yet presented a conceptual framework outlining its plans and objectives for the chairmanship, TASS reported.
Despite the absence of a detailed plan from Beijing, the Russian official indicated that Moscow intends to back whatever agenda China ultimately puts forward for the bloc, according to the report.
BRICS, which groups major emerging economies, rotates its chairmanship annually among member states. The chairing country typically sets the thematic priorities and hosts major summits and ministerial meetings during its term.
TASS did not provide additional details on the timing of China's chairmanship or further specifics of Ryabkov's remarks in the excerpt reviewed.
