BRICS member states have approved Bolivia’s admission to the organization as a partner nation, Bolivian President Luis Arce wrote on Telegram on Friday.
"Our Plurinational State of Bolivia is taking a fundamental step towards its entry into BRICS, having been informed of the acceptance of the member states to become an associated state," Arce noted.
The Bolivian president added that this step represented the most significant achievement of Bolivian foreign policy, with the results being multidimensional.
Russian President Vladimir Putin said earlier that BRICS member states had agreed on a list of partner states during the summit in Russia’s Kazan.
