Sergey Lavrov's BRICS Announcement: No New Members for Now

🚨 BREAKING NEWS! 🚨 Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov's BRICS Announcement is a game-changer: no new members for now!

During his Belarus visit, Lavrov clarified BRICS expansion plans, confirming that the group will focus on consolidating current membership instead of admitting new members. This decision follows the Johannesburg Summit 2023, where BRICS expanded for the first time since 2010. The multipolar world needs stability, and the Russian foreign minister emphasized that quality is preferred over quantity. Sergey Riabkov and Naledi Pandor had hinted at this direction earlier, stressing the importance of strengthening existing partnerships. Moreover, Yury Ushakov mentioned the preparation of criteria for BRICS partner countries, a step before full membership, indicating a strategic pause to "digest" the recent influx of new members. This video dives deep into the implications of this statement, analyzing how it affects nations like Iran, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Argentina, and Ethiopia. Stay tuned for an in-depth breakdown of Lavrov's critical announcement and what it means for BRICS and the future of global geopolitics.

While this video thoroughly examines Sergey Lavrov's recent statement and the reasons behind BRICS' decision to pause its expansion, it does not cover the detailed economic impacts on specific BRICS countries or the internal political dynamics within each member state. Additionally, the video does not delve into the historical context of previous BRICS expansions before the Johannesburg Summit 2023 or the specific criteria that will be used to evaluate future BRICS partner countries. For a broader understanding of BRICS' economic strategies or the geopolitical nuances of each member country, viewers might need to refer to other detailed analyses or follow-up videos. However, the insights provided here offer a crucial understanding of the current strategic pause in BRICS expansion and its potential implications for the multipolar world order.

“…needs to be built on a solid, stable foundation where every brick counts.” Exactly. Love this!

[vince]

I am French and i think we should join the Brics rapidly, and leave Nato ASAP !

[AzariasTM]

This is correct, because BRICS needs to digest the previous members, otherwise chaos will gradually accumulate in the organization. 🤔
In addition, the organization is strengthening and growing, becoming more serious, so in the future, I think, it will not be so easy to join. So countries that wanted to join yesterday, but today have changed their minds, can be pushed to the very end of the queue.

[thomaswayne]

I like this slow-but-sure approach. Also reflects confidence in the strength and stability of existing makeup.

[sirshauniv]

I honestly think it's for the best, at least for now. If you ask me, BRICS has enough competing interests at the moment, adding more will just create unnecessary division when it's inconvenient at best.

[richiexp]

I agree, they need to move carefully, some of them may be Trojan horses... besides they need a working formula/system before scaling.

[litesp]

Smart move. A rush to accept members reduces the value and strength BRICS. Care must be taken to vet potential members and ensure that they will strengthen the organization rather than weaken or sabotage it.

[AlexanderKopriwa]

Doing like the EU to expand at any cost is a recipe for chaos and complexity-induced entropy.

[caseylim]

Good idea. Those countries wanting to join can be just BRICS partners until a year later their membership can be accepted

[ossie]

A very wise decision! It will be interesting to see if India will continue to ride the fence. I look forward to the meeting this autumn. Thank you!

[martinhastingsis]

I don't know what they will call it, but I see a day when BRICS replaces the UNSC.
Thanks for your up-dates. Blessings from New Zealand.

[adtiamzon]

Good #BRICS news update! Keep them coming. 😍🇷🇺👏👏💞🕊🌍💪

[羅智-gp]

這是明智之舉，先在伊朗、埃及、埃塞俄比亞做出成績，厚實 BRICS 的基礎，建立 BRICS 的信譽，自然眾望所歸，也才能建立公平的世界新秩序。

[ANON-yc]

more keen on hearing out the anouncement on the new financial framework...if these works out...BRICS will be sweet to global trade & finance... like sugar sought after by ants

[deanmclean]

I would love it if my country of New Zealand 🇳🇿 could join Brics. Live to you all ❤

[daveofyorkshire]

He's not saying no new members, he's saying there's a queue, wait your turn. They're talking about an intake procedure, a controlled alignment. That's true of every trading block.

They just want to make sure that they suddenly don't find the block doesn't get hijacked by a multitude of low population members, like they did in the EU.

[stanspb]

This makes sense. With so many countries expressing interested when the current members have not worked out all the details yet would have implied the need for lower voting grade for new countries until the frame work is stable and fully functioning is best. Have partner status or candidate status to allow the less developed countries to get their trade and trade infrastructure working well before graduating to full voting member seems like a good idea. The association has come a long ways in the last couple of years and still has away to go to be working like a precision clock. But the association or candidate status should have some benefits as to not discourage those countries that are having a hard time resisting the constant pressure from the US and EU

[bertanelson]

This only makes sense. The key members need to settle down & work out the most important agreements among themselves. This might not be easy given that the potential five (unless Saudis bail) new ones need to fully assess where they stand. Diplomacy & dialogue takes time. Along the way they can discuss key requirements for interested nations to participate in certain ways. Some newbies might be glad to join SCO first.

[amunra]

This approach is very practical. Also it would give the current BRICS time to establish its international currency transfer system.
