Taliban’s Request to Putin for Presence in the BRICS Summit
The spokesperson of the Taliban group said on Tuesday that the group wishes to join the economic BRICS summit, which is scheduled to take place from October 22 to 24 in the city of Kazan, Russia.
Hamidullah Fetrat, the deputy spokesperson for the Taliban government, stated that countries with major resources and the world’s largest economies, especially Russia, India, and China, are participating in the BRICS summit. We currently have good economic relations and trade exchanges with them and are eager to expand our relations and participate in the BRICS economic summit.
