Saudi Arabia: Decision on BRICS membership next week!
The drama surrounding Saudi Arabia's entry into the BRICS alliance remains exciting! As early as 2023, the oil-rich kingdom let the world breathe a sigh of relief by accepting an invitation to join, but since then there has been radio silence. Now there will finally be clarity at the BRICS summit in Kazan in 2024. Russian spokesman Dmitry Peskov says Saudi Arabia's participation in the alliance will be made clear after the summit.
Discussions have been going back and forth for a year: Will Saudi Arabia become the tenth BRICS player or not? The alliance itself claims that membership is already secure. But Saudi Arabia is still examining the strategic advantages and disadvantages. Concerns about tensions with the West could be the reason for the Saudis' reluctance. Peskov explains, “We will continue to inform whether Saudi Arabia will be represented at the summit at all.” The eagerly awaited decisions at the summit should provide clarity, as watcher.guru reports.
The BRICS expansion is the first since 2001, including countries such as UAE, Egypt and Iran. Could Saudi Arabia unleash a geopolitical bombshell? The answer is imminent!
