The Russian and Chinese foreign ministers are expected to meet with their counterparts from the BRICS economic bloc in Cape Town on Thursday.

South Africa has indicated it won't arrest the Russian leader if he decides to travel for that main BRICS summit in Johannesburg despite the country being obliged to do so as a signatory to the ICC’s Rome treaty.
