The new Mexican government does not intend to change its policy regarding rapprochement with the BRICS group, as the Agreement between the United States, Mexico, and Canada (USMCA) remains a priority, President Claudia Sheinbaum said. Former Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador said in August 2023 that Mexico does not intend to join BRICS. In 2024, the Mexican Foreign Ministry commented on media reports about Mexico's plans to join the bloc, saying that the government had not applied to join BRICS, but was "following the bloc's development with interest due to the economic weight of its member countries and the bilateral trade the country conducts with its members."On Monday, Sri Lanka's Foreign Minister Vijitha Herath said that the country has decided to formally apply to join BRICS. Herath noted that the decision reflects the country's desire to deepen ties with emerging economies and broaden its multilateral partnerships.

Mexico Not Thinking About Rapprochement With BRICS Right Now, President Says
09:45 18.10.2024 (Updated: 11:55 18.10.2024) MOSCOW (Sputnik) - BRICS is an intergovernmental association created in 2006 by Russia, China, Brazil, and India. In 2010, South Africa became the fifth member of the organization. In January, Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, and the UAE joined BRICS.
The new Mexican government does not intend to change its policy regarding rapprochement with the BRICS group, as the Agreement between the United States, Mexico, and Canada (USMCA) remains a priority, President Claudia Sheinbaum said.
"No, at the moment we are betting on strengthening the T-MEC [USMCA] agreement," Sheinbaum said on Thursday when asked about possible rapprochement with BRICS.
