Footage shows members of the Russian delegation greeting the politician and presenting her with a bouquet of flowers. The video also shows the deputy minister tasting a loaf of traditional Russian bread and the national Tatar dish, 'chak-chak'.
The 16th BRICS Summit is scheduled for October 22-24. World leaders from more than 24 countries are expected, with delegations from over 30 nations, for one of the major economic, political and cultural events of the decade.
Russia has chaired BRICS since January 1, 2024. The group also expanded this year, growing in both size and influence to nearly half the world’s population and a third of the global economy.
