20 Nations Begging to Join BRICS: A New World Order Emerges?

Is the global balance of power shifting? Reports suggest a surge in nations vying for membership in the BRICS economic bloc (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa). Diplomat Sergey Ryabkov recently stated that 20 nations are “begging” to join BRICS, signaling a potential desire for a multipolar world.

Which Countries Have Applied to Join BRICS in 2025?

The interest in joining BRICS is undeniably high. According to a report from Tass, a publication owned by the Russian government, Ryabkov says that nearly 20 countries are currently waiting to get into BRICS. More than 20 countries, including Algeria, Bangladesh, and Nigeria, have formally applied to join BRICS, hoping to be part of a multipolar world. The list of countries showing interest in BRICS membership is growing rapidly. The potential expansion highlights the increasing influence of the BRICS nations and their perceived ability to offer alternative economic and political alliances.

What does this mean for the future of global economics and geopolitics? The surge in applications suggests a growing dissatisfaction with the existing international order and a belief that BRICS can provide a more equitable and prosperous future for its members.
