Nigeria officially joined BRICS as a partner country on Friday, becoming the ninth country to do so after Belarus, Bolivia, Cuba, Kazakhstan, Malaysia, Thailand, Uganda and Uzbekistan.
Nigeria is committed to strengthening economic cooperation with BRICS in various areas as the
bloc's partner country, the West African country's Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a
statement on Saturday.
"The formal acceptance to participate as a partner country [of BRICS] underscores Nigeria's commitment to fostering international collaboration, leveraging economic opportunities, and advancing strategic partnerships that align with Nigeria's development objectives. BRICS, as a collective of major emerging economies, presents a unique platform for Nigeria to enhance trade, investment, and socio-economic cooperation with member countries," read the statement.
Nigeria is ready to use the partnership to promote common objectives in the areas of trade and investment, energy security, infrastructure development, technology and climate change, according to the statement.
"This partnership also aligns with our national aspirations for inclusive growth, regional integration, and active participation in shaping a fair and equitable global economic order in line with our ethos of strategic autonomy," the ministry emphasized.
The West African country also looks forward to constructive engagement with BRICS members to stimulate innovation and foster people-to-people exchanges.
The partner-country status was introduced at the 16th BRICS Summit, held in Russia's Kazan in October 2024.
