Preparations are underway, according to the Russian ambassador to China
Due to the measures taken by the Coordination Council of the Russian Government to control the incidence of the coronavirus infection in the Russian Federation, as well as due to the restrictions on official trips abroad imposed by several SCO and BRICS countries, it was decided to postpone the SCO and BRICS events planned for the second part of March and April 2020
Russia has not yet made a decision to cancel the summits of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) and BRICS due to the coronavirus disease outbreak, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said
