BRICS Summit 2023: Will Vladimir Putin attend the Summit

Russian President Vladimir Putin will be the odd one out when leaders from the BRICS economic bloc meet in Johannesburg today. While all the others are set to attend the meetings in person, Putin will dial in on a video call.

The reason? An International Criminal Court (ICC) arrest warrant issued for the Russian president put summit host South Africa in a sticky situation and ultimately resulted in Putin staying at home.

Putin’s indictment by the ICC  in March charging him with war crimes over the removal of children from Ukraine left South Africa with a significant diplomatic conundrum.

South Africa lobbied for months ahead of the summit to persuade Putin to stay at home so it could avoid the problem. But since South Africa is also a signatory of the ICC so the country was told to arrest Putin.

South African Deputy President Paul Mashatile said last month, “It’s almost like you invite your friend to your house, and then arrest them. That’s why for us his not coming is the best solution. The Russians are not happy, though. They want him to come.”

BRICS Summit: Key facts about BRICS

BRICS is a group of major emerging economies – Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa. 

The acronym BRIC was coined in 2001 by then Goldman Sachs chief economist Jim O’Neill in a research paper that underlined the growth potential of Brazil, Russia, India and China. South Africa was included later in this group (in 2010), and later it became BRICS.

The bloc was founded as an informal club in 2009 to provide a platform for its members to challenge a world order dominated by the United States and its Western allies.

Its creation was initiated by Russia.
