The BRICS group has expanded its membership by inviting Argentina, Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates, marking a significant shift in global economic alliances. The three-day summit in Johannesburg culminated on Thursday, with discussions highlighting the potential of this enlarged coalition.
In an exclusive interview, CGTN's Stringer spoke with Argentine residents to gauge their expectations from this new membership. Many expressed optimism that joining BRICS will foster closer ties with China, aiming to increase productivity, develop local industries, and improve the quality of products. This collaboration is seen as a pathway to enhanced economic growth and innovation within Argentina.
The integration of Argentina into BRICS is anticipated to open new avenues for trade, investment, and technological exchange, reinforcing the country's role on the global stage. As BRICS continues to evolve, the synergy between member nations is expected to drive sustainable development and address shared economic challenges.
