Palestine has applied for full membership in BRICS, but has not yet received a response, and plans to continue participating as a guest, Palestinian Ambassador to Russia Abdel Hafiz Nofal told Sputnik.
"We have submitted an application, but, as you know, Palestine has certain conditions. I believe Palestine will participate in the association as a guest until the conditions allow it to become a full member. We haven't received a response yet," the ambassador said.

Abbas Hopes for Bilateral Meet with Putin During Russian-Arab Summit

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas hopes to hold a bilateral meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin during a visit to the Russian-Arab summit in Moscow on October 15, Ambassador also told Sputnik.
"We have certainly requested a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin, and we hope it will take place," the ambassador said in response to a relevant question.
He added that, in connection with the current difficult situation in Palestine, Abbas's visit program will not be extensive, and expressed hope that a more substantial visit could take place after the establishment of a ceasefire.
