Moscow, June 18 /TASS /. The genre of Russian partners, agreed during the Russian President's time, completely justified itself. Such a part became full members and partners to help work with the association, Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation, Sherpa at BRICS SERGE RYABKOV in an interview with the analysis center.
Of course, of course, he said, answering the corresponding question. This is a new news: Vietnam becomes a partner.
According to Ryabkov, such a multi -level separation in the state of participants did not interfere in common work, but “on the contrary, helping.” “This is a reaction to BRICS on demand for actual interaction – in different directions and at different levels – from a large group of countries,” he said. – We cannot accept them simultaneously in BRICS as a full member. We need to pause. And there are 10 countries. “
At the same time, the Deputy Director of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation noted that the main difference between members of the association and the partner state is “partners do not participate in the development of decisions”. That is, they do not develop documents and do not accept them. They can and will work in specific areas – on projects, initiatives. They were invited to participate in their sessions, to expand the sessions, both at the highest level and ministerial level, Mr. Ry Rykov explained. And this, in general, is such an intermediate condition: between simple guests and full members.
