Grupo dos BRICS vai acolher seis novos membros
August 25, 2023 - O grupo BRICS de cinco economias emergentes – Brasil, Rússia, Índia, China e África do Sul – acordou admitir seis novos membros, uma iniciativa destinada a reformular a ordem global dominada pelo Ocidente.
The Brics countries – Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa – are often seen as a counterweight to the Western-led world.
The six new countries – Argentina, Egypt, Iran, Ethiopia, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates – are set to join in January.
In deciding in favour of an expansion – the bloc’s first in 13 years – BRICS leaders left the door open to future enlargement as dozens more countries voiced interest in joining a grouping they hope can level the global playing field, Reuters said.
