  • Iran applies for BRICS Membership.
    The BRICS members account for 30% of global gross output and 40% of the global population.

A spokesman revealed that Iran has applied to join the group of five major emerging economies: Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa, according to the Iranian news agency Tasnim.

At a press conference on Monday, an Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson announced that the Islamic Republic had submitted its application for membership in the BRICS. A series of consultations have taken place in this regard, according to Saeed Khatibzadeh.

He stated that, while the BRICS is not a treaty or an international agreement, they are based on a very creative mechanism with broad implications.
