Vietnam joins BRICS as partner country

It is the tenth country to receive this status

The Brazilian Ministry of Foreign Affairs has announced Vietnam's accession to BRICS as a partner. This was reported on the official website of the Brazilian Presidency in BRICS.

"Vietnam becomes the tenth BRICS partner country, alongside Belarus, Bolivia, Kazakhstan, Cuba, Malaysia, Nigeria, Thailand, Uganda, and Uzbekistan," the statement said.

It was emphasised that Vietnam is a country with a population of almost 100 million people and a dynamically developing economy that is integrated into global value chains. The country shares with BRICS participants a commitment to an inclusive international order, the ministry added.

Vietnam is also a member of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN).

The category of BRICS partner countries was introduced at the 16th summit of the association in October 2024. All group's states supported this decision in the Kazan Declaration.

"This roadmap sets the framework for our joint efforts. Indonesia and Belarus have great potential for expanding cooperation in various fields. Our cooperation will focus on industrial development and agricultural modernisation.

Liao Fan

Director of the Institute of World Economics and Politics at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences (CASS)

"We also encourage countries of the Global South to work together and contribute to the global economy. We also call on developed countries to set aside issues such as national security and strategic competition when we are discussing real global challenges – pressing issues such as public health or poverty reduction – so that development resources can be channelled truly effectively to those countries that need them. [...] Major powers and large countries must bear greater responsibility for the well-being of people around the world. This is the responsibility of the major powers"

Anutin Charnvirakul

Prime Minister of Thailand

"Russia has been a trusted friend of Thailand for over a century. […] Next year, we will mark the 130th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between our countries.
