Turkey has applied to join the BRICS group of developing countries, which plans to strengthen ties beyond its Western allies. Bloomberg wrote this on Monday, September 2.

Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan noted that BRICS increases the diversity of approaches to the global economic system.
While EU membership remains a strategic goal of the country.
BRICS was founded in 2006 and then included Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa, after which its initials were named. In January 2024, Egypt, Iran, Saudi Arabia, UAE and Ethiopia joined the organization. At the end of July, Malaysia submitted an application to join the organization.
We report that Azerbaijan has officially submitted an application to join BRICS.
