7 Countries Most Likely to Join BRICS Alliance at August Summit

The BRICS alliance, initially comprised of Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa, has been a significant force in the global economy. However, that changed more than a decade later, when the bloc invited six countries to join the BRICS alliance. Those nations included Saudi Arabia, Argentina, and others, signaling a potential expansion of its influence and reach.

In August, BRICS countries held a summit in South Africa. Several important updates came out of this meeting, and the bloc announced new members that would be integrated into the group. This expansion has sparked considerable interest in which nations are most poised to join at the next summit.

According to reports, particularly one cited by Business Standard, the seven countries that will most likely join the BRICS alliance in the next summit in August are Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Argentina, Egypt, Algeria, and Indonesia.

The inclusion of these nations would represent a significant shift in the BRICS' economic and political landscape, bringing in significant resources and bolstering its representation on the global stage. The addition of Saudi Arabia and the UAE, in particular, would bring substantial oil reserves and financial power to the alliance.

While no official confirmation has been made regarding these specific countries for future inclusion, the Business Standard report, along with general geopolitical trends, makes them strong contenders for joining the BRICS alliance at the August summit. Keep an eye on official announcements as the summit approaches to confirm the final list of new member states.
