Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva on Thursday said the interest of other countries to join the Brics organisation showed how relevant its pursuit for a new world economic order is.
“We will remain open to new candidates,” Lula said at a news conference held in Johannesburg.
Argentina, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Ethiopia have shown interest in joining the Brics organisation, he said, adding Iran was also interested.
During a summit held in SA, the Brics group of nations also approved a resolution to study in the future the creation of “a new currency of payments”.
