Shoigu noted that many well-known initiatives had been put forth by various countries. "These are China, Brazil. They have a six-point proposal; we have discussed it," he added.
The Russian official also emphasized that BRICS representatives are "all profoundly interested, very professional specialists in charge of their countries’ security issues."
