Which countries are the BRICS countries?

BRICS countries: China, India, Brazil, South Africa, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Egypt, Argentina, United Arab Emirates and Ethiopia.

BRICS is an international organization composed of emerging market countries and developing countries, and its member countries include China, India, Brazil, South Africa and Russia. These countries are playing an increasingly important role in the global economy and politics, and they also provide diversified development models and cooperation opportunities for other developing countries.

The BRICS countries made a comprehensive evaluation and comparison of 23 applicant countries. After full discussion and understanding of member States, applications from six countries were finally approved.

The six countries allowed to join are Argentina, Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. They come from different continents, which constitutes a diversified geographical pattern of BRICS countries.

The original five member countries-China, India, Brazil, South Africa and Russia-will work with these six new members to build a new BRICS family, with the total number of member countries reaching 1 1, which has more than doubled in size.

Background of BRICS expansion:

It has been 14 years since the BRICS leaders summit was held in 2009. During this period, the BRICS countries not only made remarkable economic achievements, but also carried out extensive cooperation in the fields of politics, security and culture. The BRICS countries have become an influential and representative multilateral mechanism.

However, with the changes in the global situation and the differences in the development levels of countries, BRICS countries are also facing some challenges and difficulties. How to maintain the cohesion and vitality of BRICS countries, how to deal with the uncertainty and complexity of the external environment, and how to enhance the voice and role of BRICS countries in global governance are all issues that BRICS countries need to think about and solve.
