Six Nations Set To Join The BRIC Bloc In 2024
At their annual meeting in South Africa last week, over 40 countries they had shown interest in becoming members of the group, with 23 registering formally to join, including African countries of Ethiopia and Algeria, which have officially been accepted to join.
Beginning in January 2024, Argentina, Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE will become official members of the BRICs alliance.
In 2009, Brazil, Russia, India, and China founded the bloc, and in 2010 South Africa became a member of the group.
The BRICS bloc is now said to be working to develop a more robust group of developing countries that can advance the causes of the Global South.

The BRICS bloc said in the Johannesburg declaration that it appreciates the interest shown by prospective members. After reaching a consensus on the guiding principles, standards, criteria, and procedures of the BRICS expansion processes, they chose the six nations. Still, it didn’t go into further depth about the exact criteria.
