It will bring new vigour to the BRICS cooperation mechanism and further strengthen the force for world peace and development&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Beijing has campaigned to rapidly expand and strengthen the BRICS as a counterweight to US and Western dominance of world affairs, and the push to extend membership headlined the summit agenda in Johannesburg.<\/p>\n<p>Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed hailed what he called &#8220;a great moment&#8221; for his country, the second most populous in Africa.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The benefits of Iran&#8217;s membership to BRICS will make history, and open a new chapter and a stronger step towards fairness&#8230; and lasting peace on the international stage,&#8221; said Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi.<\/p>\n<p>Egypt and the UAE also broadcast their readiness to work with the loosely defined group, which represents billions of people on four continents and a quarter of the world&#8217;s wealth.<\/p>\n<p>While the announcement indicated all six countries would join, the Saudi response was non-committal, with Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan saying Riyadh was &#8220;awaiting details&#8221; about the invitation and would &#8220;take the appropriate decision&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p><b>&#8211; &#8216;Fight for a new order&#8217; &#8211;<\/b><\/p>\n<p>BRICS makes decisions by consensus and agreed on the six nations after approving rules for admission during three days of bilateral talks and closed-door meetings.<\/p>\n<p>Officials said months of pre-negotiations were needed to reach the breakthrough, though the exact criteria for entry or why these nations were selected from dozens of candidates has not been made public.<\/p>\n<p>It paves the way for future expansion of a disparate group of big and small economies that encompasses both the world&#8217;s largest democracy and its largest authoritarian state.<\/p>\n<p>More than 20 countries had formally applied to join and about the same number from non-Western nations across the so-called Global South have expressed interest.<\/p>\n<p>Some 50 world leaders attended the summit, underscoring what BRICS leaders say is the attractiveness of its message and growing relevance on the world stage.<\/p>\n<p>BRICS has risen to prominence at a time of intense geopolitical rivalry and analysts foreshadowed that its 15th summit could be pivotal.<\/p>\n<p>The United States played down the admission of six new members &#8212; including arch-nemesis Iran since the 1979 Islamic revolution &#8212; saying it would keep working with partners around the world.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The United States reiterates its belief that countries may choose the partners and groupings with whom they will associate,&#8221; a State Department spokesperson said.<\/p>\n<p>US officials have played down the likelihood of BRICS emerging as a geopolitical rival, describing the bloc as a highly diverse grouping of both friends and rivals.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Our diversity strengthens the fight for a new international order,&#8221; said Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, who supported Argentina&#8217;s membership.<\/p>\n<p><b>&#8211; &#8216;Shot in the arm&#8217; &#8211;<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Michael Kugelman, director of the South Asia Institute at the Wilson Center, said the summit had given BRICS &#8220;a shot in the arm&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In reality, BRICS does have something approximating a common vision, and that is providing alternatives to the West,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think it&#8217;s a goal that&#8217;s gained momentum amid greatly intensifying power competition.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>BRICS leaders championed its New Development Bank as a fairer lender for emerging markets than US-based institutions like the World Bank.<\/p>\n<p>UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said an overhaul of the world&#8217;s &#8220;outdated, dysfunctional and unfair global financial architecture&#8221; was necessary &#8220;but it won&#8217;t happen overnight&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In the absence of such reform, fragmentation is inevitable,&#8221; he told leaders in Johannesburg.<\/p>\n<p>Analysts said Brazil, South Africa and India would need to balance their proximity to China and Russia without alienating a strong trading partner in the United States.<\/p>\n<p>The admission of oil-producing giants Iran, Saudi Arabia and UAE would boost the BRICS economic heft but some observers said Tehran&#8217;s inclusion risked colouring the bloc with an anti-American hue.<\/p>\n<p>The summit also underlined divisions with the West over the war in Ukraine.<\/p>\n<p>South Africa, China and India have not condemned Russia&#8217;s invasion, while Brazil has refused to join Western nations in sending arms to Ukraine or imposing sanctions on Moscow.<\/p>\n<p>Russian President Vladimir Putin, who is the subject of an international arrest warrant, was the only leader not present in Johannesburg and addressed the summit via video link.<\/p>\n<p><b>Source:seychellesnewsagency<\/b><\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/gambia\">Gambia<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211;
