BRICS summit in Kazan
Why not everyone is following Putin’s anti-West alliance
Russian President Putin invites the BRICS states to a summit in Kazan. His country and China are pushing for an anti-West alliance. But not everyone wants to follow Beijing and Moscow.
Nine countries are already members, but only the first five member states make it into the group name BRICS: Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa. Together with Iran, the United Arab Emirates, Ethiopia and Egypt, which will join in 2024, plus the heavily involved Saudi Arabia, they represent 35% of the global economy and 45% of the world's population. By comparison, the G7 accounts for 30 percent of global economic output and only ten percent of the population.
Vladimir Putin wants to use the organization to show the world that he is not internationally isolated despite the invasion of Ukraine. Pictures from the BRICS summit in Kazan, Russia, these days should prove this. But it's not quite that simple.
