What is BRICS?

BRICS stands for Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa.

The group started in 2006, and Brazil, Russia, India and China convened for the first BRIC summit in 2009. South Africa joined a year later.

The aim of the alliance is to challenge the economic and political monopoly of the West. The group sets priorities and has discussions once every year during the BRICS summit, which members take turns hosting. The summit is the 16th held.

In 2023, BRICS extended invitations to include Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates after these countries applied for membership. Saudi Arabia has yet to formally join, but the others have.

An invitation was extended to Argentina at the same time, but the South American country turned it down after President Javier Milei, elected in December, campaigned on the promise that he would bolster ties with the West.

Who is attending the BRICS summit?

Two dozen world leaders attended the opening of the summit on Tuesday.

Leaders of BRICS member countries – including Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Chinese President Xi Jinping and South African President Cyril Ramaphosa – are attending the summit.

UAE President Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi and Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed have also all landed in Kazan for the summit.

What is on the summit’s agenda?

The central theme that unites BRICS members is their disillusionment with Western-led institutions of global governance, especially when it comes to the economy.

What’s next for BRICS?

BRICS is continuing to expand.

Southeast Asian countries have recently expressed an interest in joining the alliance.

At the BRICS Dialogue with Developing Countries held in Russia on June 11, Thailand said it wanted to join.

On June 18, Malaysia expressed interest in being part of BRICS just before Chinese Premier Li Qiang visited the country.

NATO member Turkey also formally requested to join BRICS in September.
