According to watcher.guru:
The BRICS bloc has enjoyed unprecedented growth over the last two years. It has sought to increase its presence on a global scale and disrupt the West’s dominant run. Throughout the last year, it has increased its de-dollarization efforts to lessen overall reliance on the US dollar. One major part of this has been bringing in more interested countries to support the bloc and overthrowing USD. As the year has progressed, more countries have traded with BRICS members without using the greenback, further boosting de-dollarization efforts. Now, with exclusive partner countries, the bloc looks to continue expanding its reach of influence around the world.
Here are the thirteen (13) new nations to the alliance as partner countries:
- Algeria
- Belarus
- Bolivia
- Cuba
- Indonesia
- Kazakhstan
- Malaysia
- Nigeria
- Thailand
- Turkey
- Uganda
- Uzbekistan
- Vietnam
