A
deal to expand the BRICS group of leading developing countries appeared
stuck in eleventh hour negotiations at a leaders summit on Wednesday,
after all BRICS members had publicly expressed support for growing the
bloc.
More than 40 countries have expressed interest in joining
BRICS, say South African officials, and 22 have formally asked to be
admitted.
"We have a document that we've adopted which sets out
guidelines and principles, processes for considering countries that wish
to become members of BRICS...That's very positive," summit host South
Africa's foreign minister Naledi Pandor says.
So an agreement had
been meant to be adopted following a plenary session earlier on
Wednesday. But a BRICS member country official with direct knowledge of
the discussions said it had been delayed after Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi introduced new admission criteria.
"Yesterday
... India pushed for consensus on criteria as well as the issue of
(candidate) names. There was a broad understanding," the source said.
Chinese
President Xi Jinping has called for the speedy expansion of BRICS as
well as efforts to promote more just and reasonable global governance.

PS. India is against expansion. Saying yes but setting unacceptable conditions is as good as saying no. Biden has given India instruction to block whatever BRICS intend to do.
Didn't BRICS admit 6 more countries in the end. Effectively telling Modi to go fly kites.
ReplyDeleteBRICS was hijacked by the Indians.If not, many more countries would be admitted. The Indians have malicious intent against the expansion of BRICS. The Americans are laughing their guts out at the stupidity of BRICS to allow the Indians to stop them from growing.

ReplyDeleteNo need worked so hard.
Favourite slogan of the Pinoys.
India is somewhat like the USA. Let others work their butts off, while they enjoy the benefits, and let the printing press do the work. Too bad, India could not print like nobody's business, so have to find ways to take what is not theirs. And the Indians found a way. Just changing laws will do it. Easier, faster and cheaper than printing toilet papers.
ReplyDeleteWhy the custodians to be presidential candidates did not ask about protecting the money invested in DBS India?
