Thailand is ready to join BRICS "as soon as possible" and become more engaged in the region and with China, Foreign Minister Maris Sangiampongsa said on Wednesday.

Late last month, Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin's government approved a draft letter expressing Bangkok's intention to join the bloc of emerging economies.

Maris' comments came during a meeting with his Chinese counterpart Wang Yi on the sidelines of the BRICS foreign ministers’ summit.
