Iran's top security official in Russia to attend BRICS security meeting
Secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council (SNSC) Ali Akbar Ahmadian has arrived in Russia to take part in a meeting of security officials of the BRICS group of countries.
Ahmadian arrived in the port city of St. Petersburg on Tuesday for the summit that will be held on September 10-12.
In addition to the BRICS security summit, Ahmadian will attend another meeting in St. Petersburg with high-ranking representatives in charge of security issues from BRICS+ countries, including Indonesia, Turkey, Kazakhstan, Serbia, Thailand, Belarus, Vietnam, Venezuela, Uzbekistan, Nicaragua, Cuba, Azerbaijan, Bahrain, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Mauritania and Laos in attendance.
On the sidelines of the gatherings, Iran's top security official will also hold talks with some of his counterparts and discuss with Russian officials the most important regional and international developments in the political, security and economic fields.
The BRICS group of fast-developing economies initially consisted of Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa.
This year, the group was expanded to include Iran, Egypt, the UAE and Ethiopia as new members.
The bloc, which is often seen as an alternative to the Western economic and political hegemony, comprises almost 46 percent of the global population, 36 percent of the world’s gross domestic product (GDP) and 25 percent of the global trade measured in terms of exports.
