 <p>Apart from these five Arab countries, 20 other nations are willing to join the <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="BRICS" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/brics.html">BRICS</a> alliance, confirmed South African Ambassador Anil Sooklal. <strong>“Over 20 countries formally approached <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="BRICS" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/brics.html">BRICS</a> to become members,”</strong> revealed Sooklal to ANI News Agency. The countries that are interested in joining the <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="BRICS" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/brics.html">BRICS</a> alliance include Pakistan, and Nigeria, among others.</p>
 <p><strong>“Be it Pakistan or any other country. There are a large number of countries formally approaching us and this will be attended to by foreign ministers and leaders based on consensus,” </strong>he said. Pakistan is seeking the help of Russia to be inducted into the bloc.</p>

 <p>Therefore, the BRICS alliance could spread its wings across the Arab world, Africa, Asia, and the global south. This puts the West and the US under pressure as a united BRICS could wreak havoc on the traditional markets.</p>
