UNITED NATIONS (Sputnik), Lenka White - Ahead of the upcoming summit of BRICS leaders in Kazan, Russia, Venezuela has repeatedly expressed its intention to join the economic grouping. Last week, President Nicolas Maduro said that Venezuela was counting on the BRICS countries to invest in its oil, gas, and metals industries.
Venezuela hopes the decision on its joining BRICS will be announced at the group's next summit in the Russian city of Kazan in October, Venezuela's Deputy Ambassador to the United Nations, Joaquin Perez Ayestaran, told Sputnik.

“I would hope that in Kazan, during the next summit, the decision can be officially announced in a positive manner. It will very much be a welcome development in Venezuela,” Perez Ayestaran said. “But if not, we are still there with our offer and our commitment to be an active player in this new world.”
