Pls read/learn about BRICS: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/BRICS
From the above ⬆️ –
The founding
countries of Brazil, Russia, India, and China held the first leaders summit in Russia in 2009 under the
name BRIC. Following a renaming of the organization, South Africa
attended its first summit as a member in 2011 after joining the group in 2010. Iran, Egypt, Ethiopia, and the United
Arab Emirates attended their first summit as member states at the 2024 summit in Russia.
Saudi Arabia is yet to officially join, but
participates in the organization's activities as an invited nation.
In August 2023, at
the 15th BRICS Summit, South African President Cyril
Ramaphosa announced that Argentina, Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, Saudi Arabia, and the
United Arab Emirates had been invited to join the organization on 1 January
2024.
On 30 December 2023,
the new government of Argentina, which formally applied for BRICS membership
under Alberto Fernández's government in 2022,
officially declined the offer to join the bloc due to the new government's
different foreign policy.
On 1 January 2024,
Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, and the United Arab Emirates officially joined the bloc.
On 2 September 2024,
Turkey officially applied to join the bloc. At the same time, Turkey has been a
NATO member since
18 February 1952 and is also a European
Union candidate country.
