The Brics summit of heads of state will be held in South Africa’s main city Johannesburg in August, Reuters agency reported, citing Foreign Minister Naledi Pandor.
Her comments follow speculation that South Africa could ask another country to host the summit as it will be under legal obligation to arrest Russia’s President Vladamir Putin if he attends.
The International Criminal Court (ICC) has issued an arrest warrant for Mr Putin over the conflict in Ukraine.
He has not yet indicated whether he will attend, but a Kremlin spokesman had earlier in the week said that Russia would participate in the summit at the “proper level”.
