An array of 29 countries, including Algeria, Argentina, Bahrain, Bangladesh, Belarus, Comoros, Cuba, Democratic Republic of Congo, Egypt, Gabon, Guinea-Bissau,
Indonesia, Iran, Kazakhstan, Mexico, Nicaragua, Nigeria, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Senegal, Sudan, Syria, Thailand, Tunisia, Turkey, United Arab Emirates, Uruguay, Venezuela, and Zimbabwe,
are presently vying for BRICS membership.
During a press conference on Monday, AK Abdul Momen, the foreign minister of Bangladesh, expressed that if a formal invitation were extended to their South Asian nation, Bangladesh would embrace the opportunity to join the BRICS group. “We will surely join once they invite us. We are yet to receive any formal letter [inviting us to join].
The BRICS leaders are thinking of taking some emerging economies – around eight new countries including Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Indonesia, and Bangladesh,” Momen told reporters on Monday.
During his visit to Geneva, AK Abdul Momen dropped subtle hints that Bangladesh would soon become a member of the esteemed BRICS bloc, with an expected entry in August. According to
regional reports from the Dhaka Tribune, a formal request to join the alliance was “put forward” following a meeting between prime minister Sheikh Hasina and South African president Matamela Cyril Ramaphosa last Wednesday. The Tribune also references an undisclosed source who revealed the nature of their discussions.
Just curious did Indonesia recently took some step against China, India or Russia like making comments on Uyghurs or Kashmir issue, South China Sea dispute or any position taken at the Russia Ukraine war? In those cases it may explain the reason of the exclusion regardless what the Indonesian President has said after the conference.
