Cuba appealed to russian dictator vladimir putin to join the BRICS group of countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China and the Republic of South Africa).
Politico reported this on Tuesday, October 8, with reference to the statement of the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Carlos Miguel Pereira.
"Cuba has officially requested its incorporation into the BRICS as a ‘Partner Country,’ through a letter to the President of Russia, Vladimir Putin, who holds the Presidency of the Group, which is consolidating as a key player in global geopolitics and hope for the countries of the South," Pereira said.
The publication writes that Pereira's appeal to putin took place two weeks before the meeting of BRICS members at the bloc's annual summit, which is scheduled for October 22-24 in the russian city of Kazan. At the same time, membership in BRICS is by invitation only.
As the Ukrainian News agency earlier reported, on September 2, Türkiye officially submitted an application to join the BRICS group of countries.
In December 2023, the new President of Argentina, Javier Millay, announced that his country would not join BRICS.
In April 2024, Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić denied reports that Belgrade intended to join the BRICS organization.
