BRICS Summit: Public Release of Putin's Speech Canceled

In a surprising turn of events, Russian President Vladimir Putin delivered a speech at the BRICS summit on September 8, but the details of who delivered the speech on his behalf in an official capacity remain unclear. Putin himself was present at the summit in China, where he was scheduled to hold numerous bilateral meetings with leaders including India's Narendra Modi, Turkey's Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, and Iran's president.

The BRICS summit, which is a part of the BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa) group, was held in a closed format, as reported earlier by Bloomberg. The nature of the summit was not specified, but it is implied to be a formal meeting or gathering. The location of the event was not disclosed in the provided text.

Despite the closed-door nature of the summit, TASS reported that Putin's speech was not planned to be open to the media. The Kremlin spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, confirmed this information. Interestingly, the event in question was not accompanied by a formal delegation speaking on Putin's behalf, according to available sources.

In a related development, Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva proposed a discussion on the main problems facing the union during the BRICS summit. This online summit, initiated in Brazil, is expected to include the participation of Russian President Vladimir Putin, among other leaders.

As the world watches closely, the BRICS summit on September 8 marked a significant moment in international diplomacy, with Putin delivering his speech in a closed-door setting. The details of the summit and its outcomes are eagerly awaited by the global community.
