Brazilian Foreign Minister Mauro Luiz Iecker Vieira arrived in Kazan on Monday to attend the BRICS summit.
Footage shows members of the Russian delegation greeting the diplomat, and the minister tasting a loaf of traditional Russian bread and the Tatar national dish, 'chak-chak', a type of deep-friend doughnut.
Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva was scheduled to attend in person, although his press office announced on Sunday that he would not be able to undertake the long-haul flight, due to a 'small brain haemorrhage' following a fall. The department confirmed he was otherwise in good health and would attend the event via video link.
The 16th BRICS Summit is scheduled for October 22-24. World leaders from 22 countries are expected, with delegations from 36 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.
