BRICS has officially expanded its alliance, adding 13 new nations as partner countries, though not as full members.

The announcement was made during the BRICS summit, held in Kazan, Russia, from October 22 to 24, 2024.

The 2024 summit, themed “Strengthening Multilateralism for Fair Global Development and Security,” marked the sixteenth annual gathering of the bloc, with a focus on enhancing economic integration with key emerging nations.

A post on X (former Twitter) from the bloc on Thursday read, “BRICS officially adds 13 new nations to the alliance as partner countries (not full members).”

The spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Amb. Eche Abu-Obe on Thursday confirmed  Nigeria as a partner in BRICS.

Nigeria’s inclusion as a partner country aligns with previous statements in November 2023 by Foreign Minister Yusuf Tuggar, who expressed the country’s intention to join BRICS as a full member within the next two years, leveraging its large economy and population

The countries are Algeria, Belarus, Bolivia, Cuba, Indonesia, Kazakhstan, Malaysia, Nigeria, Thailand, Turkey, Uganda, Uzbekistan, and Vietnam.

The organisation aims to foster trade, investment, development, security, and cooperation among leading emerging market economies.
