Africa-Press – Eritrea. <\/strong><\/span>Brazil\u2019s government said on Friday that Nigeria has been accepted as a partner country in the multinational BRICS group.<\/b><\/p>\n

This adds Africa\u2019s largest economy to the growing alliance of emerging market countries.<\/p>\n

Brazil, which currently holds the rotating presidency of the bloc, described Nigeria as having converging interests with other members of the group.<\/p>\n

Nigeria becomes the ninth BRICS partner, joining Belarus, Bolivia, Cuba, Kazakhstan, Malaysia, Thailand, Uganda, and Uzbekistan.<\/p>\n

BRICS now represents over half the world\u2019s population and more than 45 per cent of global GDP, signalling its growing clout on the international stage.<\/p>\n

The Brazilian government said Nigeria has been actively strengthening cooperation in the Global South and reforming global governance, a key priority for Brazil.<\/p>\n

It added that as one of the world\u2019s top oil producers, the African country brings significant economic weight to the group.<\/p>\n

The partnership status allows Nigeria to participate in BRICS meetings and events, but does not grant full membership privileges like voting rights<\/p>\n
