The gathering is the largest diplomatic forum in Russia since launching its full-scale military offensive on Ukraine in 2022 and President Vladimir Putin wants to use it to demonstrate that attempts to isolate him on the world stage have failed.
KAZAN - UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres arrived in Russia on Wednesday to attend the BRICS summit, his first visit to the country for more than two years that has drawn scorn from Ukraine.
In bilateral talks on Tuesday, including with Xi and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Putin hailed Moscow's close ties and"strategic partnerships" with its partners.Russia and China's relations have"injected strong impetus into the development, revitalisation and modernisation of the two countries", Xi said."Russian-Chinese cooperation in world affairs acts as one of the stabilising factors in the global arena.
Guterres' spokesperson said the trip was part of the UN chief's regular attendance at"organisations with large numbers of important member states," and said it offered a chance to"reaffirm his well known positions" on the Ukraine conflict"and the conditions for just peace."
