The BRICS summit is scheduled to be held from October 22 to 24 in the Russian city of Kazan.
Russian state news agency RIA Novosti reported that the letter was sent by the Taliban's Minister of Industry and Trade Nooruddin Azizi to Yuri Ushakov, an aide to Vladimir Putin.

Rustam Khabibulin, the head of the Russian Trade Centre in Afghanistan, has confirmed that the Taliban have submitted a written request to participate in the BRICS summit.

In Nooruddin Azizi's letter to Yuri Ushakov, it is stated, "We are interested in the participation of a high-level delegation from our government, including Abdul Ghani Baradar, the deputy prime minister of the Taliban, in the BRICS meeting.

Suhail Shaheen, the head of the Taliban's political office in Qatar, told RIA Novosti news agency that it is important for the group to participate in the upcoming BRICS meeting in Kazan and express its views.

So far, no country has recognized the Taliban. Despite its diplomatic relations with the Taliban, Russia has not yet responded to the Taliban's request.

The main members of the BRICS group are Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa. The group expanded with the membership of Egypt, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Iran and Ethiopia at the beginning of this year.
Russia has announced that the upcoming meeting will focus on developing cooperation in three key areas: political and security, economic and financial, and cultural.

According to RIA Novosti, the Taliban’s letter to Russian officials said: “We are victims of a smear campaign by some media outlets. It is important that we participate in such forums to present our views on the issues being discussed. This is essential for global peace, mutual understanding, cooperation, and peaceful coexistence.”

What people needs to understand is that Taliban lack legitimacy. No one wants to recognize them. Whether that be foreign governments or internal Ex Republican rivals.

Lack of external legitimacy is due to lack on internal legitimacy, which gets hard to get due to lack of external legitimacy. It's a classic catch 22.

Thus, they need platforms like BRICS, Doha, and the UN to gain internal validation.
