In a move to enhance its global influence, the BRICS alliance has officially welcomed Nigeria and 12 other nations as partner countries during its recent summit in Kazan, Russia.

This decision was announced through a statement on the bloc’s X handle, outlining the inclusion of Algeria and Uganda among the African nations.

The newly inducted partner countries also include Belarus, Bolivia, Cuba, Indonesia, Kazakhstan, Malaysia, Thailand, Turkey, Uzbekistan, and Vietnam. While these nations will engage selectively with BRICS activities, they are not yet full members, which entails comprehensive participation rights and responsibilities.

The summit culminated in a joint communiqué that addressed pressing global issues, advocating for a more equitable international order.

The declaration emphasized the necessity for a multipolar world where emerging and developing nations have a stronger voice in global affairs.

It highlighted, “We note the emergence of new centers of power, policy decision-making, and economic growth, which can pave the way for a more equitable, just, democratic, and balanced multipolar world order.”

The BRICS nations reiterated their commitment to empowering regional organizations like the African Union and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, recognizing their roles in promoting economic cooperation and cultural exchange.
