BRICS unites the world's largest developing economies — Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa. A number of other countries intend to join the economic bloc, including Algeria, Argentina, Egypt, Iran, Indonesia, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, the United Arab Emirates and others.
The BRICS enlargement is high on the agenda and will be discussed at the upcoming summit of the group in South Africa on August 22-24, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Tuesday.
"The issue of BRICS enlargement is high on the agenda. Including the agenda of the upcoming summit. This is a very important issue, because we see that more and more countries are making statements about their intentions to join this group," Peskov told reporters.
The Kremlin spokesman added that there are "nuances" among BRICS members when it comes to enlargement.
Peskov's remarks came in response to a Bloomberg report quoting sources as saying that India and Brazil oppose China's calls for rapid BRICS expansion.
On Monday, Bolivian Foreign Minister Rogelio Mayta declared that the country
wants to join BRICS and will take part in the summit in Johannesburg.
South Africa, which assumed the rotating BRICS presidency in January, will host the 15th BRICS summit from August 22-24.
According to South African Deputy Minister of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs Parks Tau, all 54 African counties have been
invited to participate in the upcoming BRICS Summit in South Africa's Johannesburg in August.
