Experts with the international Valdai Discussion Club and their high-profile guests from various countries began their 20th annual meeting in Sochi, TASS reports.

The meeting, titled "Fair Multipolarity: How to Ensure Security and Development for Everyone", takes place on October 2-5. Participants are expected to discuss nuclear war risks, their vision for the BRICS group as a prototype of a new world order and other pressing issues. According to the organizers, the annual meeting will also touch upon Ukraine, the news agency added. 

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said that he is upbeat about the upcoming international Belt and Road Forum in Beijing, as China always does a great job of organizing these kinds of events on their territory.

"I have the most optimistic expectations. We know that our Chinese friends always organize the events they hold on their territory at the highest level,"

he told reporters on the sidelines the Valdai Club meeting. He said the BRI fits perfectly with the processes that are developing in Eurasia with the participation of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) and Southeast Asian states. 

"The world is becoming multipolar, with countries seeking to find reliable partners, and BRICS’ expansion is the main confirmation of this,"

Lavrov said, adding that nearly twenty countries have expressed interest in establishing partnership relations with the BRICS association of Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa.  He noted that "the weight, prestige and role of an individual candidate country and, of course, its position in the international arena" were taken into account in decision-making on expanding BRICS.
