BRICS: 13 new partners – but only spectators without voting rights!

BRICS strikes again! The powerful economic alliance has unveiled its new partner state rules with a bang, with one key difference setting the world on edge. The bloc welcomed a sensational 13 new countries to its circle of partners, a clear indication that its global position is growing inexorably. The official announcement took place at this year's summit, exactly a year after the first expansion since 2001. The United Arab Emirates, Egypt, Iran and Ethiopia have already joined - and this is just the beginning.

The move came after Russia's policy of conquest in Ukraine prompted the West to impose tough sanctions. As a result, Moscow turned to its BRICS comrades while moving away from the dollar became a top priority. The attractiveness of this strategy is clear: more and more countries are literally jostling to become part of the rapidly growing bloc.

Now BRICS has presented new partner state rules that clearly make a difference! “You can put forward ideas, but you cannot vote,” said Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov. Although partners are allowed to participate in the BRICS mechanism, decisions are reserved solely for full members. This regulation has only now become known, and it remains exciting to see how the affected states will react to this restriction. For more information, see the latest coverage on watcher.guru.
