<p>Following their recent annual summit, the BRICS unveiled a revolutionary expansion initiative extending the alliance to include six new countries. Recent developments suggest this momentum will continue next year.</p>

<p>According to <a href="https://watcher.guru/news/brics-confirms-another-6-country-expansion-in-2024#google_vignette" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">recent statements by Subrahmanyam Jaishankar</a>, the Indian Minister of External Affairs, the BRICS are committed to expanding their reach. They have reached a consensus on expanding the group at their next plenary meeting.</p> 
<p>Subrahmanyam Jaishankar has stated that a group of six new states is expected to join the BRICS in 2024. However, the official did not specify the countries concerned by the upcoming expansion.</p> 
<p>For now, it is known that at least 40 countries are interested in joining BRICS. From this total, Iran, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Ethiopia, Egypt, and Argentina were initially considered, with the latter declining the offer after Javier Milei came to power.</p>

<p>This development seems to be in line with the goals pursued by the BRICS so far, namely to promote a multipolar and more inclusive world order. The ultimate goal is to challenge the dominance held by a small number of Western nations.</p> 
<p>The addition of a new state conglomerate can be seen as a means of achieving this end. Moving away from the dollar, launching a common currency, possibly with a cryptocurrency option, are other levers activated by BRICS to realize their plan.</p> 
<p>Commenting on this development, Subrahmanyam Jaishankar emphasized the alliance’s commitment to challenging the current Western-centric global power structure. A situation that has so far suppressed or nearly annihilated the legitimate interests of other peoples.</p> 
<p>Ultimately, the organization seems to have found the necessary formula to maintain unity within its members. Not so long ago, some potential rifts within BRICS fueled by suspicions of a desire for hegemony by China had surfaced. A hypothetical split that would play into the hands of the Americans, many of whom do not view the BRICS as a threat to the United States.</p>
