BRICS (International): Through the BRICS organization, China wants to increase its dominance in the world. For this, China is rapidly thinking of expanding the BRICS organization. At the same time, other members of this organization, India and Brazil are opposing it.
The summit of BRICS countries is going to be held in South Africa next month. According to Bloomberg’s report, China has recommended including other countries in the discussion regarding its preparations.
According to officials, China wants to increase its influence thereby including other emerging economies in BRICS. At the same time, China is increasing its reach to other countries through BRICS to counter America, while India and Brazil want to take this process forward thoughtfully.
Dozens of countries including Saudi, UAE, Egypt, and Iran have expressed their desire to become a member of the BRICS organization and have also applied for its membership. At the same time, America and other Western countries fear that if the BRICS organization becomes stronger, then their challenge will increase on different forums.
Brazil does not want Western countries to be concerned with the growing influence of BRICS, while India wants to keep other countries in the BRICS organization only as observers. The consent of all countries is necessary to make any country a member of the organization. Presently Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa are members of this organization.
