Nigeria joins BRICS as partner country

Nigeria has joined the BRICS as a partner country, alongside 12 other nations, further strengthening its economic ties with the intergovernmental bloc.

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

The 12 additional countries joining as partner nations are Algeria, Belarus, Bolivia, Cuba, Indonesia, Kazakhstan, Malaysia, Thailand, Turkey, Uganda, Uzbekistan, and Vietnam.

SPONSOR AD

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

The bloc had earlier granted full membership to Iran, Egypt, Ethiopia, and the United Arab Emirates in January 2024.

These four countries attended their first BRICS summit as full members at the 2024 gathering in Russia.

BRICS, initially formed by Brazil, Russia, India, and China (BRIC) in 2009, welcomed South Africa as a member in 2010, rebranding the alliance to BRICS.

The organization’s core mission is to foster trade, investment, development, security, and cooperation among leading emerging market economies.

The 2024 summit, themed “Strengthening Multilateralism for Fair Global Development and Security,” marks the bloc’s sixteenth annual gathering and seeks to deepen economic integration with key emerging nations.
