Global South shows interest in joining BRICS amid shifting global dynamics

news.sky.com October 22, 2024, 08:00 PM UTC

Summary: At the BRICS summit in Kazan, Russia, over 20 world leaders, including Xi Jinping and Narendra Modi, gathered, signaling Russia's continued global engagement despite Western sanctions. This contrasts with earlier perceptions of Russia's isolation due to its actions in Ukraine.

The BRICS group has expanded to include new members like Egypt and Iran, with many countries from the Global South expressing interest in joining. This reflects a desire for alternatives to the US-led international order, rather than a clear alignment with Russia or the West.

Key discussions at the summit include creating an alternative payment system to reduce reliance on the US dollar. However, not all BRICS members fully support Russia's stance, indicating a complex dynamic among the nations involved.
