Iran says member countries of the BRICS group of emerging economies are resolute in pursuing efforts to ditch the US dollar in trade and economic transactions.

Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Ali Bagheri Kani made the remarks on Saturday while speaking to reporters on the sidelines of the 15th International Economic Forum “Russia-Islamic World: KazanForum 2024” in Kazan, the Republic of Tatarstan.

He said the BRICS members are seriously determined to reduce dependence on the US dollar but they need to develop the necessary infrastructures in various fields to make that happen.
