Iran to work on dedollarization of transactions within BRICS

On December 31, 2023, Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Ali Bagheri Kani indicated that Iran, like other BRICS members, will work on the de-dollarization of trade and economic and financial transactions within the group of major emerging economies.

"We have planned many missions and joint work with other BRICS members within the framework of this organization," Bagheri Kani told Sputnik.

The diplomat highlighted that "one of the most important tasks is the de-dollarization of trade and economic transactions and financial cooperation."

"Activities in this field of work of BRICS have already started, we hope to strengthen and expand these activities in order to achieve this goal as soon as possible."

BRICS, established in 2009, is a group uniting the world's largest developing economies, which currently includes Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa.

In August, the 15th top-level BRICS summit in Johannesburg extended invitations to Argentina, Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, the United Arab Emirates, and Saudi Arabia to join the bloc. Their full membership, except for Argentina, is scheduled to take effect on January 1, 2024.
