South Africa reported that applications for joining the BRICS are received almost weekly.
According to Anil Suklal, Ambassador-at-Large for Asia and BRICS at the South African Foreign Ministry, we are talking about 30 countries.
At the moment, BRICS consists of Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa.
News portal NewZimbabwe reported last week, citing internal BRICS documents, that joining the group is now sought:
- Algiers
- Argentina
- Afghanistan
- Bangladesh
- Bahrain
- Belarus
- Venezuela
- Egypt
- Zimbabwe
- Indonesia
- Iran
- Kazakhstan
- Mexico
- Nigeria
- Nicaragua
- UAE
- Pakistan
- Saudi Arabia
- Senegal
- Syria
- Sudan
- Thailand
- Tunisia
- Turkey
- Uruguay
It is noted that all these countries will have to wait for the BRICS members to agree on the fundamental concept of expanding the group.
They might need a new name. Trying to fit all of those country names into one acronym will create an abomination of a word.
A lot of BRICS = WALL
lol right
Can you imagine what would happen if Mexico joins BRICS?
US will try to do a color revolution there and then invade?
That’s a bingo
damn
There is some disagreement within BRICS regarding the expansion, with China supporting it and India and Brasil opposing it.
