MOSCOW, November 20. /TASS/. Indonesia has received an invitation to join BRICS as a partner state, Indonesian Ambassador to Russia, Jose Antonio Morato Tavares, told TASS, confirming that the invitation has been accepted.
"Yes, [we have received the invitation]. This is a positive development. Now, we are already a BRICS partner state," the diplomat said.
This status allows Indonesia to participate in meetings of the group as a partner state, Morato Tavares explained. He added that, in this role, Indonesia "will actively contribute to and participate in any initiatives of BRICS."
After the BRICS Summit in Kazan, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced that the group had agreed on a list of its partner countries, though their names were not disclosed. At the initial stage, invitations would be extended to these nations, and announcements would be made once a positive response is received.
BRICS was founded in 2006 by Brazil, Russia, India, and China, with South Africa joining in 2011. On January 1, 2024, Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates became full-fledged members.
