ATHENS, Greece -- Russia is set to host the first BRICS summit since the group expanded its membership, as Moscow aims to dispel the notion that it is internationally isolated and seeks to reshape the world order together with its partner China.
In the Russian city of Kazan, approximately 800 kilometers east of Moscow, leaders will gather from Tuesday to Thursday to discuss ways to improve international cooperation on security, the economy and finance. Another key item on the agenda is the further enlargement of BRICS itself.
