Türkiye-BRICS association: “We continue to work on joining BRICS,” says Erdogan

The Republic of Turkey continues to work on joining BRICS and will soon inform the association of its results. This was stated by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan in Rio de Janeiro following his participation in the G20 summit.

“We continue to work on joining BRICS, and after completing this work, we will report the results to the association,” Erdogan said.

Turkish Trade Minister Omer Bolat previously reported that the country had received an offer from BRICS to become a partner state and associate member of the group.

According to Africa News, The BRICS group, comprising Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa, along with new members Ethiopia, Iran, Egypt, and the UAE, has recently drawn Turkey’s interest. Turkey, a NATO member, formally expressed its intention to join the bloc earlier this year.

Speaking to Turkish broadcaster TVNet, Bolat confirmed the offer, describing the partner status as a transitional phase within BRICS’ organizational structure. The offer comes after Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan attended a BRICS summit in Kazan, hosted by Russian President Vladimir Putin, underscoring Ankara’s aspirations for deeper engagement with the group.
