Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro, commenting on the work of the BRICS summit in Kazan, called Russian President Vladimir Putin a star of international politics with a "scorer's instinct".
"Thirty leaders of the BRICS countries of the new world were there, and he received all the delegations, had bilateral meetings and was present at the plenary session.
Undoubtedly, in political language, one can say that Putin is a star of international politics.
A great success was recorded at the historic summit in Kazan, which united the BRICS. He is a natural goalscorer, like Cristiano Ronaldo," Maduro said at a high-level bilateral intergovernmental commission meeting.
According to the President of Venezuela, during the bilateral meeting with Putin in Kazan, they discussed the broad map of bilateral work, as well as the political, geopolitical and diplomatic agenda.
