Putin promised that the next BRICS summit will include a session devoted primarily to Palestine.
The Palestinian ambassador in Moscow, Abdel Hafiz Nofal, reported on Friday that the president of the Palestinian National Authority, Mahmoud Abbas, will participate in the next BRICS summit, which will be held in the Russian city of Kazan, from 22 to 24 October.

Nofal highlighted the confidence of the Palestinian people in Moscow to resolve the conflict in the Middle East.
The Palestinian diplomat announced in late August that Abbas had received an invitation from Russian President Vladimir Putin to attend the BRICS summit.
On 10 June, the countries of the group issued a joint declaration demanding a ceasefire in Gaza.
They also condemned the constant bombing of civilian infrastructure, the killing of children, women and health personnel, as well as the lack of access to clean water, medicines and food.
Thanks to the cooperation of the BRICS, nations like Russia, China and Iran, subject to unilateral restrictive measures imposed by the West and the United States, have established strong links in trade, economy, security and other areas.
Russia took over the rotating presidency of the BRICS for 2024 on 1 January this year, a year that began with the admission of new members.
According to media, Moscow has planned for this year more than 250 events in 11 regions, including the XIV BRICS Summit.
The group currently accounts for almost half of the world’s population, over 40 per cent of global crude oil production and about 25 per cent of world exports.
