The Mayor of the capital of the republic of Tatarstan Ilsur Metshin
proposed to establish an Association of BRICS Cities and legally consolidate
its status. Such an initiative was announced at the 2nd Kazan International
Legal Forum.
“Today there is a need to establish a new body – the Association of
BRICS Cities. Municipalities of friendly countries should have their own voice
in the international arena! We see the unprecedented pressure exerted by
Western countries on other countries, and we realize that only new political
platforms can be an alternative to this pressure,”- the head of the city
explained.
He also said that the BRICS summit in Kazan in 2024 will bring together
the heads of 26 states. The officials of Russia and friendly countries will
take part in it.
