Brazil has formally announced Nigeria’s admission as a partner country in the BRICS alliance.
The Brazilian foreign ministry communicated the development in a statement on Friday.
“The Brazilian government welcomes the Nigerian government’s decision,” the statement said.
Originally comprising Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa, the alliance began to expand after more countries began seeking to join the group of leading emerging economies.
The alliance’s partner-country category was created at the 16th BRICS Summit in Kazan in October 2024.
