Azerbaijan has decided to apply for membership of the Brics alliance just one day after the Russian president Vladimir Putin after the state visit.
Brics is the equivalent of the world’s developing economies to the G7 group consisting of the world’s largest economies.
The Brics group is named after its founding countries Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa.
This year, Iran, Egypt, Ethiopia and the United Arab Emirates have also joined the group.
