Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>Speaking to reporters before leaving Tehran for South Africa\u2019s Johannesburg, Raisi said Tehran seeks to promote cooperation with the member states of the BRICS group of emerging economies.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn its foreign policy, the Islamic Republic of Iran has put (the promotion of) relations with all independent countries in the world on its agenda,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cBRICS has managed to bring together independent countries with the common goal of (bolstering) economic cooperation and countering unilateralism,\u201d he added, emphasizing that he would shed light on Iran\u2019s positions in this regard.<\/p>\n

The Iranian president noted that he plans to hold mutual meetings with the BRICS leaders and the authorities participating in the summit with the purpose of expanding Tehran\u2019s ties with other countries.<\/p>\n

Raisi said that such meetings would facilitate the exchange of capacities among the BRICS members and expressed hope that his visit would pave the way for the realization of Iran\u2019s policies.<\/p>\n

As a group of countries, BRICS has the capacity to be further expanded, he stated, Press TV reported.<\/p>\n

The group consists of Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa. These countries collectively represent around 40% of the global population and a quarter of the world\u2019s gross domestic product (GDP).<\/p>\n

Iran is among dozens of countries that seek membership in BRICS and has submitted a formal application to join the body.<\/p>\n

Russia and China have welcomed Iran\u2019s application and the group\u2019s expansion to include international powerhouses.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, South Africa\u2019s foreign minister said on Wednesday that leaders of the BRICS bloc have agreed on mechanisms for considering new members, giving dozens of interested nations a path into the organization.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have agreed on the matter of expansion,\u201d Naledi Pandor said, following a meeting of BRICS leaders at the grouping\u2019s 15th summit in Johannesburg.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have a document that we\u2019ve adopted which sets out guidelines and principles, processes for considering countries that wish to become members of BRICS…That\u2019s very positive,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

Despite differing economic and political priorities among its current members, as well as rivalry between China and India, there appears to be a general agreement among the five states that expansion of the group should be considered.<\/p>\n

In addition to expansion, BRICS members are contemplating a broader economic policy shift away from US dollar-based trade within the bloc.<\/p>\n
