Hey there, globe-trotters! 🌍 Big news is brewing in the world of international alliances! The 16th BRICS Summit is set to rock Kazan, Russia, from October 22 to 24, 2024. And guess what? It's not just the original squad anymore! 🎉
Originally kicking off as BRIC with Brazil, Russia, India, and China, this cool club welcomed South Africa in 2010, becoming the BRICS we know. But hold on to your hats, because starting January 2024, they're rolling out the welcome mat for Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE)! Talk about squad goals! 🙌
Since its inception, BRICS has been flexing its muscles in economy, trade, finance, and tech. But that's not all! They're also jamming together in agriculture, culture, education, healthcare, and more. Think of it as the ultimate collab playlist of nations! 🎶
Through these epic team-ups, BRICS is shaking up the global scene, boosting economic growth, leveling up governance, and giving a thumbs-up to making international relations more inclusive. 💪
Our friends at CGTN have been tracking the milestones in the BRICS journey, and it's clear that this organization's impact is only getting bigger. So, keep your eyes peeled, because BRICS is definitely one to watch! 👀
