Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva has cancelled his trip to Russia for the BRICS summit due to medical advice following a head injury sustained at home. He will now participate via videoconference. A medical report confirmed that Lula should avoid long-distance flights but can continue his regular duties. The BRICS group, which includes Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, and new members like Egypt and Iran, is set to meet from October 22-24 in Kazan. Russian President Vladimir Putin stated that the group will play a significant role in driving global economic growth and emphasized its openness to new members. The summit is being framed as a demonstration of Russia's resilience against Western isolation efforts stemming from its actions in Ukraine. Leaders from China, India, and the UAE have confirmed their attendance, underscoring the group's growing influence in global politics and trade.
