Russian President Vladimir Putin is set to host leaders of the BRICS grouping in Kazan on Oct 22 for the meeting of the bloc. Putin will be meeting his counterparts from several countries including China, Turkey, and Iran. The meeting is aimed at defying predictions that the war in Ukraine and an international arrest warrant would turn Putin into a pariah, as per observers. The alliance, which aims to ‘counterbalance the Western-led world order’, initially included Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa. However, the block has expanded rapidly with the inclusion of Iran, Egypt, Ethiopia, the UAE, and Saudi Arabia in recent years.
