Bangkok envisions Thailand’s role in a multipolar world, signaling its intention to join the BRICS economic bloc. The Thai government approved a letter expressing their desire to become a member, citing the importance of multipolarity and the rising influence of developing nations in global affairs.
The letter highlights how joining BRICS aligns with Thailand’s future vision, offering opportunities to enhance its international standing and contribute to shaping a new world order. Thailand aims to accelerate the application process by attending the upcoming BRICS summit in Kazan, Russia.
Originally composed of five countries, BRICS expanded to include more nations, with Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, and the United Arab Emirates joining in 2024. The bloc now represents a significant portion of the global economy and population, aiming to surpass the G7 in nominal global GDP in the coming years.
With Thailand’s potential membership, the BRICS alliance could further solidify its position as a key player in the global economy and geopolitical landscape. Stay tuned to see how this development unfolds!
