At least 30 states have already expressed a desire to join the work of BRICS . This was stated by Russian President Vladimir Putin at a meeting with media representatives of the countries of the association.
“Today, 30 countries have expressed a desire to cooperate with BRICS to one degree or another, and to join the organization’s activities in one way or another,” said the Russian President.
According to the Russian leader, “this is a visible effect of the accession.” “Immediately after this wave, the next one rises,” he noted.
“But here we must, together with all members of the organization, carefully consider how to approach expansion. It’s as if we won’t push anyone away at all, as if the doors are completely open.”
