SHUSHA: Azerbaijan is set to become a key player in the world’s largest integration bloc – BRICS, said Leonid Slutsky, head of the Russian State Duma Committee on International Affairs and leader of the Liberal Democratic Party of Russia (LDPR) in an interview with Trend, CBC TV, and AzTV.
“BRICS stands to benefit greatly from Azerbaijan’s economic integration, driving forward rapid development. That’s why the BRICS summit in Kazan, set for October this year, will be a landmark event for many countries, and I’m confident it will be especially significant for Azerbaijan,” Slutsky remarked.
Slutsky also shared his belief that Baku is ready to actively participate in BRICS.
“Azerbaijan is a country open to cooperation with anyone who is willing to understand and engage with the new, modern Azerbaijan. It boasts a unique culture and outstanding leadership! I’m not just saying this to be polite, but to acknowledge what many countries – some of which once viewed Azerbaijan with skepticism – have now come to real
ize. The speed at which Azerbaijan’s economy is developing today is truly impressive,” he added.
