?? Big moves in global geopolitics!

The BRICS group, originally formed by Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa, has now extended an invitation to six new countries to be part of their bloc. The newly invited countries are Saudi Arabia, UAE, Argentina, Egypt, Ethiopia, and Iran.

This groundbreaking expansion is not just a simple addition of member countries. It represents a significant shift in the global power dynamics and underscores the increased influence of the "Global South" in world affairs. The three-day summit held in Johannesburg saw this expansion topping the agenda, with members unanimously expressing support for the move.

South Africa's President Cyril Ramaphosa mentioned that this addition will be effective from January 1, 2023. He highlighted that this has been a part of the discussion for a while and the consensus on this first phase of expansion is now established, with further phases to follow.

India's Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, expressed his strong support for the expansion and pointed out that India has always believed in the strengthening of BRICS. The addition of new members, according to PM Modi, will provide fresh momentum to BRICS cooperation.

Moreover, the expansion signals the need for global institutions to evolve and adapt according to changing times. It sets an example for other global entities, pointing indirectly to the need for reforms in older institutions like the UN Security Council.
