The thorny question of the enlargement of the Brics

2023-08-22 00:25:50

South Africa is hosting the Brics summit from August 22 to 24 at its conference center in Johannesburg. A somewhat special summit, the first face-to-face since the Covid pandemic and the start of the war in Ukraine. Russian President Vladimir Putin will also follow the summit from a distance, unable to travel due to the ICC arrest warrant. And among the main issues on the table is the question of the expansion of the Brics. Since the addition of South Africa in 2010, no new country has yet joined the original group. This point has been under discussion in recent months, particularly at ministerial level, and from now on, the Heads of State will be able to discuss this crucial choice in person.
