In the coming days, the BRICS Games international sports event will be held in South Africa. The event will be held from October 18 to 21, in which 450 athletes, including 34 from Russia, will partake.

The two countries have exchanged three high-level diplomatic and ministerial visits in the past year and a half, including a visit to Moscow by Eritrean Foreign Minister Osman Saleh in April 2022, and a return visit to Asmara…
