Egypt aims to sign bilateral agreements with BRICS members during the upcoming summit in Russia's Kazan, Mostafa Madbouly said on Thursday.
"We hope that during the summit we will have an opportunity to achieve bilateral agreements with [BRICS] member states," the Egyptian prime minister said at a weekly press conference when asked about the BRICS summit.
Madbouly emphasized that his country seeks to strengthen relations with BRICS states.
Egypt applied for BRICS membership in 2023 and joined the organization in 2024.
Russia took the rotating presidency of the BRICS group in 2024. Russia is chairing BRICS under the motto "Strengthening Multilateralism for Just Global Development and Security." BRICS leaders will attend the summit in Kazan, hosted by Russia, on October 23-24.
