During the BRICS Summit in Kazan, John Kirby emphasized that the U.S. doesn't see BRICS as a threat. The summit will focus on global development and security. Leaders, including PM Modi, will discuss key international issues. BRICS continues to expand, now including countries such as Egypt and Iran.

At the BRICS Summit taking place from October 22 to 24 in Kazan, Russia, John Kirby, the White House National Security Communications Advisor, stated that the United States does not perceive the BRICS organization as a "threat." Kirby made these remarks during a press conference while addressing reporters.

John Kirby downplayed concerns about the BRICS Summit being a prominent stage for Russian President Vladimir Putin. "The BRICS, as an organization, isn’t new," he stated, emphasizing countries' rights to make independent decisions about their associations. The summit will focus on strengthening multilateralism for fair global development and security as outlined by the Ministry of External Affairs.

Established in 2006, BRICS now includes new members like Egypt and Iran. Russian President Vladimir Putin highlighted BRICS' growing role in the global economy.
