Russia on Monday confirmed that several countries have agreed to join BRICS as partner states, with the official status set to take effect on January 1, 2025. Malaysia among Belarus, Bolivia, Indonesia, Kazakhstan, Thailand, Cuba, Uganda and Uzbekistan will officially become BRICS partners. The decision to include par tner states was a key outcome of the recent BRICS summit held in Kazan. Invitations were extended to 13 countries. BRICS member countries are fully integrated into the organization, participating in decision-making and shaping its agenda. The founding members—Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa—hold formal membership. On the other hand, BRICS partner countries collaborate with the group without being official members. While they engage in discussions and specific projects, they do not have voting rights or a role in the decision-making process.
