BRICS meet with 'friends' seeking closer ties amid push to expand bloc
— "Senior officials from more than a dozen countries, including àSaudiArabia and #Iran, were in talks on forging closer links with the #BRICS bloc of major emerging economies on Friday as it met to deepen ties and position itself as a counterweight to the West.
BRICS, which now consists of #Brazil, àRussia, #India, #China and #SouthAfrica, is considering expanding its membership, and a growing number of countries have expressed interest in joining.
Once viewed as a loose association of disparate emerging economies, BRICS has in recent years taken more concrete shape, driven initially by China and, since the start of the #Ukraine war in February 2022, with added impetus from Russia."
