An BRICS Plus/outreach format is also taking place, with world leaders and heads of the Eurasian Economic Union, Commonwealth of Independent States and the Shanghai Co-operation Organisation, among many others. The leaders of Russia, China, India and South Africa are among those who have confirmed their participation.
