BRICS at the moment should not be reformed from an association into a full-fledged organization with a secretariat, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said, Paralel.Az reports.

"BRICS is not an organization, but an association. I don’t think anyone has any interest in turning it into a real organization with a secretariat. This is not necessary, at least at this stage, for a relatively long time," the minister said in a commentary for NTV channel.
