Vietnam Joins BRICS: A Shifting Global Power Dynamic
Vietnam’s admission as a Brics partner country was announced by Brazil, the current Brics chair. This decision reflects Vietnam’s substantial population, robust economy, and commitment to multilateralism and South-South cooperation. Brazil emphasized Vietnam’s alignment with Brics’ goals of a more inclusive global order. The addition strengthens the Brics group’s presence in Asia and its broader agenda of global governance reform.
