We are convinced that this cooperation will be beneficial for global stability and regional cooperation," he said at a joint news conference following talks in the Indian capital with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, News.Az reports, citing foreign media.

On January 6, the Foreign Ministry of Brazil, which assumed BRICS rotating presidency on January 1, announced that Indonesia had joined the group as a full member. The leaders of the BRICS member countries backed the country’s membership bid at the summit in Johannesburg in August 2023.
