Sri Lanka hopes to join BRICS+ in the near future, Sri Lanka's Ambassador to Russia Janitha Abeywickrema Liyanage said recently while addressing the media.
He made the remarks following Sri Lanka's participation in a recent international meeting of high representatives responsible for security issues in St. Petersburg, Russia.
Liyanage said Sri Lanka could gain many benefits in transport and food security by joining BRICS+.
