Cuba sends request to join BRICS as partner country

The group is a "symbol of hope" for the countries of the global south, according to a spokesman for the republic's Foreign Ministry

The Cuban leadership has requested BRICS partner state status in a message to Russian President Vladimir Putin. This was announced by Carlos Pereira, Director General for Bilateral Relations of the Cuban Ministry of Foreign Affairs, as reported Prensa Latina, a partner of TV BRICS.

The Republic sent a request to this effect in a letter to the Russian leader, as the Russian Federation currently holds the presidency of the group.

"BRICS is consolidating its position as a key player in global politics, being a symbol of hope for the countries of the global South," Pereira wrote on social media.

At present, 10 countries are members of the association: Brazil, China, Egypt, India, Iran, China, the UAE, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Ethiopia and South Africa. The main event during Russia's BRICS presidency will be the BRICS summit to be held in Kazan on 22-24 October. Leaders of BRICS+ nations, including Venezuela, have been invited to attend.

One of most remarkable stories of modern economy: BRICS experts reflect on group’s 20th Anniversary

Vladimir Putin

President of the Russian Federation

"This forum, which has brought together leading representatives of the business communities of our country and the ASEAN member states in the hospitable capital of Tatarstan, Kazan, is of particular importance. This year marks the 35th anniversary of Russia–ASEAN relations. During this period, we have accumulated substantial experience in multifaceted cooperation, established strong ties, including between the Association’s Business Advisory Council and the Russia–ASEAN Business Council, and created a solid foundation for the future"

Aleksander Alimov

Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of Russia

"We are convinced that the only way to make the information space more stable, secure and predictable is through international cooperation. No country is capable of countering cross-border ICT threats on its own. There is a need to develop common rules of the game applicable to all, which would regulate the actions of states and their companies in the digital sphere. [...] The first step in this direction has already been taken with the adoption by the UN General Assembly in December 2024 and the signing in October 2025 of the UN Convention against Cybercrime, developed at Russia’s initiative. This is the first universal treaty in the field of international information security. Seventy-five countries have signed the document. We call on all countries to sign and ratify this Convention"

Batyr Berdyklychev

World Health Organisation Representative in Russia

"International cooperation can help detect risks quicker, also exchange the results of research and coordinate the response measures. Without this coordination, the consequences of the global crisis could be heavier. [...] We are witnessing the world becoming more and more interconnected and interdependent. Every outbreak of infection in one region can be a potential threat globally. The experience shows us that the resilience of healthcare systems affects economic stability, the national security of states and public trust"

Subrahmanyam Jaishankar

India’s External Affairs Minister

"As Chair, I thank each delegation for their presence and continued commitment to strengthening cooperation within the BRICS framework. […] Development issues remain central. Many countries continue to face challenges on energy, food, fertiliser and health security, as well as access to finances. BRICS can help them respond more effectively. Economic resilience is also key. Reliable supply chains and diversified markets are its essential components. We must focus on both"
