Saudi Arabia officially joins BRICS Alliance

RIYADH : Following the expansion invitations offered during the 2023 annual summit, Saudi Arabia is officially set to join the BRICS Alliance. Indeed, South Africa’s Foreign Minister Naledi Pandor has confirmed that Saudi Arabia and the four other expansion countries have been officially included.

Early in 2024, some concerns began to arise regarding Saudi Arabia’s place in the Alliance. The country said it had not yet accepted the invitation and was still considering the geopolitical implications of the alignment. However, Pandor revealed in a news conference on Wednesday that the country has since confirmed the invitation.
