Iran's Foreign Ministry Spokesman, Nasser Kanaani, hailed Iran's official entry into the BRICS alliance, highlighting the myriad economic opportunities this multilateral platform offers for enhanced cooperation with other nations. Addressing the media in Tehran during a weekly press conference, Kanaani emphasized Iran's consistent commitment to fostering multilateralism and viewed the nation's full membership in BRICS as a testament to its elevated global standing.
BRICS, comprising Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa, serves as an emerging-market collaborative mechanism. Iran's invitation to join this coalition in August of the previous year culminated in its full membership officially commencing on January 1, 2024, as reported by Xinhua news agency.
Kanaani underscored the significance of Iran's inclusion, asserting that BRICS, with the addition of new members, has gained substantial influence in the global arena. Leveraging the collective capacities within this alliance, Iran aims to safeguard its national interests robustly and bolster its constructive and influential role within international multilateral dynamics. This strategic integration within BRICS positions Iran to optimize opportunities and reinforce its global impact.
