Konstantin Kosachev, the Deputy Speaker of the Federation Council, has let slip a tantalizing little nugget: a massive expansion of the BRICS group is on the horizon. The plan is to bring a whole bunch of countries into the fold, with an emphasis on the maximum possible inclusivity—what could possibly go wrong?
Hold on to Your Seats, BRICS+ is Coming!
they want to expand their reach and invite more friends to the party.
According to Konstantin Kosachev, the Russian Senator with a taste for diplomatic grandiosity, BRICS+ is all about opening up. The group won’t just be some cozy little clique for a select few countries. No, no, dear reader, it’s going to be a “broader platform” where dozens of nations can mingle and chat about world domination—sorry, I mean, peaceful cooperation.
He said:
“This will not be a closed association for BRICS countries and partners, but rather a broader platform aimed at including the maximum number of participants.”
It’s all about networking, folks. The more, the merrier, and let’s face it, who doesn’t want to be in the BRICS+ VIP lounge?
Among those already reportedly on board are heavyweights like China, Iran, the United Arab Emirates, Ethiopia, South Africa, and, of course, Brazil, the current holder of the BRICS presidency. But don’t get too excited—Kosachev mentions that several other countries are still “considering their positions.” Translation: they’re taking their sweet time, likely consulting with their calendars. As always, no one’s being *forced* into this. Freedom of choice is a key component of global cooperation—or so they say.
The plot thickens. Kosachev added that the idea will be discussed further at the next Parliamentary Forum in June. That’s right, the event where international policymakers get together and swap ideas like they’re trading baseball cards. And by autumn, they’re hoping to formalize BRICS+ at the Inter-Parliamentary Union assembly. Because if there’s anything more comforting than bureaucratic deliberation, it’s bureaucratic deliberation with a side of international politics.
This news signals something intriguing: a new level of cooperation, centered around BRICS+—a platform designed to strengthen ties and possibly even coordinate binding economic and governance policies. Because, naturally, the current financial turmoil and market uncertainty could use a touch of BRICS solidarity, right?
Meanwhile, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has hinted that BRICS+ may even roll out a common payment system. Don’t get too excited yet—it won’t just be for BRICS members, it’ll be available for countries outside the group as well. Because who wouldn’t want to join this exciting new global economic club?
