BRICS group invites 6 new members to join next year | DW News 

Welcome to multipolar world 😎

So many hurt Europeans in the comments

Brazilian here and very happy 😀💪

I'm From Iran And Very Happy 😀🇮🇷💪🏼❤️

The BRICS countries want to develop a new currency based on gold's historical significance as a store of value and medium of trade. The usefulness and acceptance of a gold-backed currency in the current global financial system, however, remain dubious. The development of a new currency necessitates careful study of economic, political, and logistical concerns.

Perhaps other countries are getting tired of the WEST?

Congratulations to my fellow Egyptians 🇪🇬🇪🇬🇪🇬🇪🇬🇪🇬🇪🇬

I am from Iran and I hope our membership be useful we have oil, gas and large mines of lithium, zinc, aluminum and other metals. One of the largest steel producers in the world, we have important corridors and ports and transit routes. We have one of the best universities in the world and the 16th scientific rank in the world. We have the third largest population of engineers in the world and one of the best surgeons and doctors in the world. If the BRICS neutralized the Sanctions we will return to our Place in the world economy 👍🏼👍🏼

why western become rich, because they are colonial since long time ago... The resources like Oil and mineral came from Asia and Africa

anti USA dollar means anti monopoly. Well done! Brics

Welcome to BRICS from Russia🇷🇺💗

The dollar is backed by a printer

Great news! Nations from different continents working together to develop each other, let's hope they can do something significant for the people of those countries and wish the best in their endeavor.

More countries need to be independent of the U.S. dollar

It's interesting to see how the western mainstream media down play the importance of the expansion of BRICS knowing quite well that it's the beginning of the end of western political and economical dominance. Nobody is saying the dollar should go. But the world needs an alternative to the western financial system where every country is a major player and no country imposes its will on others, thus a fair world order.

Job well done BRICS!!! 👍👍👍

أتمنى النجاح لدول بريكس ضد الغرب اللعين 🇸🇦👏

Wait 6 accepted 20 applied and pending And 40+ showing interest to join?? This is bigger than TPP or G7-G20!? I thought russia are isolated and no one wants to be in the same room with them!!!😂

Majority of African countries will be Allied to BRICS because we do most trade with Asia, Brazil and Russia. The only thing we import from US is Dollars printed money and loans. Europe we import German cars and financial Aid which amount to nothing. We are best placed in BRICS because we need economic growth not import poverty from west

Mexico, Indonesia and Nigeria were to be added to this group.

Multipolar world it is, just like the ancient times where countries directly trade to one another.

power to the non-Western and Global South group ✊✊🏻✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿

Congratulations for new members in BRIKS, Welcome for new next states,from Africa, Asia, East Europe, Middle America,South America.........future best World.

Best of luck! (Saing that as European). Brics will have all resources on the planet (Russia, Brasil..) ,best infrastructural capacity (China) and people ready to work.. It hasn't been fair the current order for so many countries for so long ao far

Children let me explain what is BRICS . First to the one's who think BRICS+ is some sort of G7 or EU.The organisation is about open trade,developing,political negotiation on level plain field and exchange of ideas with out interfering with the politics of the member state. Second for the one's who think BRICS+ it's some kind of failed experiment .The open political negotiations between members states are making life easier and avoids conflict example Iran with Saudi Arabia and Egypt with Ethiopia.Creating and backing another institution/bank gives countries around the world the choice to make better decision for the future of their own economical stability. Organisation of this size will force EU and North America+Mexico to make more fair deals with the developing countries and not able to abuse their financial systems for benefits.. Last note all of this is bad news for US and Eu still the dollar runs the world but in 20 year's the dependency will be reduced to minimum most historians and economist are forgetting that this cycle of currency domination is very common in human history /the roman sestertius ,eastern rome bezant,ducat and british pound are good examples of currency past domination/with the time the dominant currency starts to lose values due to raising debts or wars... The things can get serious if BRICS+ decides to become a political/military alliance but this only can happen if there is outside treat to most members.I hope US will be run by smarter people we will avoid such a situation...

Interesting. Argentina, looking at the current economic situation, I don’t know if it can be a member to help other nations. If brics can control the price of some natural resources like lithium, it will benefit Argentina and stabilize the economy for sure.

Love to all the new Brics countries ! From Brazil 🇧🇷

The world is going through a global churn. There is a tremedous crisis of confidence in the bipolar world as well as in the unipolarity of the various major powers. Therefore there is a greater emphasis on multilateralism and the BRICS provides that kind of a comfort zone for various global sourth countries as well as for the middle powers. That is the reason for this rush that we are seeing while 40 countries are looking to join the BRICS.

Basis of the new members: - Trade routes needed by former BRICS members - Egypt entry to West Africa, - Ethiopia (China and Russia largest trade partner) - Argentina entry to South Coast instead of all ships to Brazil - SaudiA and UAE for Gulf region - Iran via Armenia to Eurasia and Central Asian mineral exports. India and China use Chahbahar Port. *Future:* No New Currency. Only scope for a digital currency as - dollar alternative + transaction medium of exchange, avoiding the SWIFT.

It's crazy how Western media is quiet

AT LEAST WE HAVE AFRICAN REPRESENTATION UNLIKE THE OTHER WARMONGERING ORGANISATIONS AND UNIONS

This is the happiest News of the year yet! Congratulations to Argentina, Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, Saudi Arabia and UAE! I hope BRICS+ will eventually grow into basically the United Nations minus all the troublemaking US-dominated countries, allowing international relations to finally function as it was meant to be - international cooperation based on mutual interests without the constant economic coercion, sabotage, subversion, and blatant political interference in the internal affairs of every country by the Western bloc. There has already for some time the need to found completely new international organisations in economics, military, sports, etc., which the West has hijacked to the detriment of the rest.

Good news for Economy, peace , stability and humanity. No more Economic blackmailing. Just bypass .... Smart ......

I am surprised when a NATO member state asks why another international organization wants to expand.

BRICS is good for real decentralisation of worlds power and resources

In this group countries with more natural resources are included making it powerful group.... Such as Argentina, china and India with lithium reserved.... Russia, UAE and Saudi Arabia with gas and oil reserves.... It's going to be interesting at world politics...

Its interesting to note all the members that are also rivals. India vs China, Egypt vs Ethiopia, Iran vs Saudi Arabia, Brazil vs Argentina. For example, just last year Egypt was threatening war with Ethiopia over Ethiopian plans to build dams on the Nile River!

Welcome to this multipolar World our whole western Nations😂😂😂

Well done BRICS, let’s all unite against western bullies.

You can hear the shaking ln the western voices, they know their days are over 😂

Why don't you put a video of why Nato is expanding its membership

Thank you for the neutral reporting.

NATO the biggest promoter of BRICS😂

I'm proud that my country Ethiopia is a BRICS country! Haters gonna hate but we're here to takeover our beautiful world from those who can't even define what a woman is. We will feast soon! Hello China, Russia, Iran, Egypt, South Africa, Brazil et al.? can you hear me?? haha... Life is Good

this would make them even more powerful than they already are and much richer

Arab support China ❤Russia

Like it or not, brics is taking over

Show the correct map of India, respect the sovereignty and integrity of India🇮🇳

They should make a BRICS football cup at this point

There goes the acronym.

Why NATO expanding??

This could be a joke, or could be the beginning of something great

Colonizers and slave masters will soon experience the forgetting of the past. Glory to the peaceful world

Don't they all hate each other?

in few years time collective West will become 3rd world ....poor and miserable

Glory to BRICS ❤❤❤❤❤

🇧🇷🇷🇺🇮🇳🇨🇳🇿🇦 BRICS is the new United Nations 🇺🇳 and new NATO 🇪🇺

I'll believe a common currency when I see it. And when I see it, I'm gonna sit back with popcorn and watch the chaos. 🤣

The world order works best when there are 2 spheres of influence--East and West. This is a natural order and works much better than globalisation. Each country has different circumstances and should align accordingly. The 2 important things to know are that there are no neutral countries and each choice has to be right the first time.

Future is in BRICS➕

😂 Why not? Why did Europe invade the WHOLE PLANET, actually?

Lol, Iran, great start

Maybe a common currency for trade only between the countries which would circumvent the need for us dollars.

The title why brics want to expand is like why nato wants to expand , every country have right to choose there allies and freind , good job by china and russia

This is very good news for this BRICS countries an some country's ar not happy with this news 😢😢😢😢

EU,Nato Felling Jealousy😆🤣🤣

Iran and Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Ethiopia ! Sounds like a fight club

Why is Ethiopia added but not Indonesia? Around 60% of palm oil is produced in the country and it is also rich in natural resources such as lithium

Ok so BRICS is expanding. But exactly is BRICS doing? They have all these meeting but what is their policies for specific countries?

This could be a great achievement and opportunity for iran

Politically, you would not want to align with the likes of Russia, China, or India but economically there is an argument for a counterweight to western, particularly US influence. In the past America has many times used its economic might to bully other countries into making egregious policies like promoting (or at least not discouraging) cigarette sales, infant formula sales over breast feeding promotion, and others.

Be careful with Map of India 🇮🇳

Today the UN has just become like the league of Nations

Argentina has absolutely nothing to offer but a pain in the )*( if Mexico would have joined that would have been breaking news.

This is a great day for equity for the global family, for too long the West have enjoyed the lions share of the earth’s bounty. The Petrodollar days are numbered.

This is good and balanced approach.

The great military powers of South America Africa and Asia and Middle East wow!!!!

Why not Indonesia ?

West don't decide Asia / Africa future .

India welcomes to the new members. ❤

Stop showing wrong map of india 🇮🇳

These countries are not friends in spitit. That's going to be interesting.

I mean iran? Thats a terrible choice.

Another brick in the wall...

Great great. About time European countries leave the eu and join.

Regardless of whether BRICS will match the US-led coalition, the fact that Iran and Saudi Arabia are sitting and talking about how best to improve the lives of their citizens, as opposed to throwing punches at each other, is worth the efforts already. I see a very different picture in the composition of the US-led coalition and that of BRICS. The former is made up of a group of "like-minded" parties. Like-minded meaning echoing the thoughts of the US. BRICS is very different. A more disparate group of nation with rather diverse world views. Jake Sullivan of the White House dismissed it by characterizing it as "made up of two autocratic countries" namely China and Russia. In one statement, he insulted all the rest of them, implying that they will take orders from China and Russia. One thing I am very sure of is that the G7 takes orders from the US. Think of a football team. The G7 is being led by a strong captain namely the US. BRICS is probably a lot harder to find its bearing because China is, unlike the US, less assertive in its management style. So it is going to be more consensus all around then. But would too many cooks spoil the broth? There is a major difference between G7 and BRICS...border disputes. G7 has no such problem while China and India do have a current unresolved dispute.

A gang of criminals dragging some poor people that can't say no. Some projects are good, some are just necessary for opening Pandora's Box.

What are Argentina and Ethiopia bringing to the table?

should have invited indonesia

USA would be shaking in its boots …. The days of its autocratic rule is slowly falling apart. The voiceless have an alternative voice now.

Good. Can American tax payers stop sending aid to some of these nations now? Shouldn’t China and Russia now pay that child support?

Long Live Egypt ❤ Great step and more is coming 👈

the west is crying

When the day come BRICS/ OPEC+ accept currency other than USD . I doubt EU want to pay in USD.

Finally the most maginalized population of the poorest in our planet living in the BRICK countries for over 300 years. Might get a chance to enjoy a lil bit of progress.

my condolences USA and GB😂😂😂😂 NATO geniuses gained 20 million people with the entry of Finland and Sweden and lost 400 million people with the entry of countries into BRICS... in the following years, the whole world is coming in on the side of Russia and China south america asia africa middle east.... it's a logical choice for the whole world... how could anyone be on the side of NATO, those who killed 70 million civilians around the world and looted their resources for centuries and lived on death and looting...

Intense Western interest in BRICS expansion indicate Western insecurity. Western disparaging of BRICS gold-backed currency is to be expected. The West is so invested in fiat money now that no return to gold-back currency is possible and it is psychologically better to insist that their system is the best possible.

bye dollar club. and failed European DW reader crying so?hard in comment.

Brics will eat west hegemony...

Finally the world has got a genuine platform where equal rights and justice will be guaranteed to all nations. Unlike where a few will decide what everybody else must accept... like The UN and G20.
