Thirty nations express interest in collaborating with BRICS alliance; Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov anticipates strengthening ties. BRICS summit in Kazan
On Tuesday, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov announced that thirty nations had expressed interest in establishing collaboration ties with the BRICS alliance.
Before the group's upcoming summit in the Russian city of Kazan in October next year, Lavrov stated that Moscow anticipates a wide range of options for collaboration.
Speaking at a meeting of United Russia's Commission on International Cooperation and Support for Compatriots Abroad, Lavrov emphasized that it is "natural, given that BRICS is operating on a genuinely democratic and mutually respectful basis," for many nations to seek closer ties with the five BRICS nations—Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa.

During their 15th summit held in Johannesburg, South Africa, from June 22–24, the leaders of BRICS agreed to admit Argentina, Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates as new members starting January 1, 2024.
"We will continue to work on BRICS bolstering its positions as one of the pillars of a multipolar world," stated the Russian diplomat. "The theme of our watch in BRICS will be 'Strengthening Multilateralism for Equitable Global Development and Security.' Over 10 Russian cities will host more than 200 economic, political, and public events. It all will culminate with the BRICS summit in Kazan next October," he added.
Lavrov mentioned that there would be numerous activities both during and leading up to the summit, particularly on the BRICS Plus and Outreach platforms.
The first meeting of BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India, and China) leaders occurred in July 2006 in St Petersburg, Russia, as a side event of the G8 Outreach Summit. The first BRIC Foreign Ministers' Meeting, held in New York City in September 2006 on the fringes of the UN Assembly's General Debate, officially established the group as BRIC. The club became the BRICS grouping in 2010 when South Africa joined.
