President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva has been advised to avoid long-distance air travel after sustaining a head injury, leading to his cancellation of the BRICS summit.
The medical report confirmed Lula is otherwise capable of performing his regular presidential duties, even though he will participate in the BRICS summit via video link.
BRICS continues to expand its membership to challenge Western influence, with the addition of new members like Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, and the UAE.
The Kremlin hopes that BRICS will foster a multipolar world by uniting fast-growing economies against Western dominance, furthering its foreign policy goals.
