RIYADH: Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan arrived in Russia’s Kazan to head the Kingdom’s delegation at the BRICS summit as “a country which is invited to join the group,” Al-Ekhbariya said on Wednesday.
Prince Faisal is representing King Salman at the meeting of around 20 world leaders.
In a joint statement issued on Wednesday, the BRICS group said it was “deeply concerned about ongoing conflicts and instability in the Middle East and North African region.”
It also criticised Israeli attacks on UN staff in southern Lebanon and urged that Lebanon’s “territorial integrity” be “preserved.”
