(Patria) - Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva will meet with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin in October when the two leaders will attend the BRICS summit which is expected to be held in Russia, the Brazilian government announced, reports Bloomberg.
This will be the first summit of the bloc attended by Putin since the beginning of Russia's war against Ukraine in 2022.
The Russian president did not travel to last year's summit in South Africa given the risk of arrest on an International Criminal Court warrant for war crimes.
On Thursday, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov met with Lula at the presidential residence in Brasilia. According to a statement from the Brazilian government, Lavrov presented Russia's views on the conflict in Ukraine. Lula reiterated that Brazil "remains willing to cooperate in efforts for peace".
Lula received US Secretary of State Antony Blinken at the presidential palace on Wednesday.
Blinken and Lavrov were in Brazil for the Group of 20 Foreign Ministers' meeting in Rio de Janeiro.
