Cuba Seeks Partnership in BRICS: A New Global Player on the Rise
Cuba has made a bold move by officially requesting to join BRICS as a partner country, as revealed by the director general of the Cuban Foreign Ministry’s General Division of Bilateral Affairs, Carlos Pereira. In a message to Russian President Vladimir Putin, who chairs the influential grouping, Cuba expressed its desire to become a key player in global politics alongside the emerging powers of BRICS.

As Cuba seeks to align itself with the rising powers of BRICS, the world watches with anticipation to see how this partnership will unfold. Exciting times lie ahead as a new global player emerges on the horizon.
