Lavrov pointed out that there was no need for BRICS to rush to expand

For the time being, the BRICS association will not rush to admit new member states to the community, although interest in joining the group is still high - relevant requests have been received from several countries. This was announced on May 15 by Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov.

"There are specific requests for full membership. I don't think it makes sense to talk about it publicly," he said at a press conference in New Delhi, where the BRICS foreign ministers summit is taking place.
