dissatisfaction with the current Global

order for decades the dominance of

7:15

western-led financial institutions has

7:17

left many nations grappling with debt

Expanding Influence and Partnerships

influence extends far beyond economic

collaboration the Block's commitment to

fostering Equitable development has

attracted nations from diverse regions

7:48

each with unique economic strengths and

7:50

challenges countries like Cambodia Laos

7:53

and Myanmar in Southeast Asia or Burkina

7:56

Faso and Sagal in Africa see bricks as a

7:59

plat form to amplify their voices on the

8:01

global stage these nations are eager to

8:03

join an alliance that values their

8:05

contributions and seeks to address their

8:07

specific needs rather than imposing one

8:09

siiz fits-all Solutions moreover brics's

8:12

emphasis on localized trade and finance

8:14

aligns with the aspirations of many

8:16

countries seeking to escape the cycles

8:17

of dependency perpetuated by Western Le

8:19

systems by creating opportunities for

8:22

direct trade and financial exchanges

8:23

among member states brics is setting the

8:25

stage for a more balanced and inclusive

8:27

global economy will bricks accept all

8:30

countries applying for membership as of

8:32

now brics the alliance of Brazil Russia

8:35

India China and South Africa holds the

8:38

authority to decide which countries it

8:39

wants as new members this selective

Expanding Membership

8:42

strategy ensures that only nations with

8:43

mutual interests in alignment with

8:45

Brick's goals are invited to join while

8:47

the interest of 23 countries applying

8:49

for membership highlights brics's

8:51

growing appeal the block is adopting a

8:53

measured approach to its expansion

8:55

Russian officials including foreign

8:57

minister Sergey lavro have emphasized

8:59

the importance of gradual harmonized and

9:02

precise steps in admitting new members

9:04

this cautious strategy reflects an

9:06

understanding that uncontrolled

9:07

expansion could dilute brics's strategic

9:09

Focus risking its ability to remain

9:11

effective Instead The Block is carefully

9:14

selecting members based on key factors

9:16

such as economic strength Regional

9:18

influence and alignment with its

9:20

overarching goals for instance resourcer

9:23

Nations like Venezuela and Nigeria could

9:25

bolster brics's energy security while

9:27

strategically located countries like

9:29

pistan and Morocco could extend the

9:31

Block's geopolitical influence this

9:33

cherry-picking approach ensures that new

9:35

members bring tangible value to the

9:37

alliance strengthening its cohesion and

9:39

its ability to achieve long-term

9:41

objectives maintaining focus and

9:43

avoiding conflicts by selecting members

9:45

who align with its Vision brics avoids

9:47

becoming a sprawling Coalition with

9:49

conflicting priorities this approach is

9:51

critical as the block positions itself

9:53

as a unified Force capable of

9:56

challenging Western dominated

9:57

institutions and reshaping the the

9:59

global order Brazil's strategic role in

10:03

America Brazil as a founding member of

10:05

bricks and the largest economy in Latin

10:07

America plays a pivotal role in this

10:09

strategy its presidency offers a

10:11

transformative opportunity not only for

10:13

the block but also for Latin America a

10:16

region traditionally under significant

10:18

US influence Brazil's leadership

10:20

provides a bridge between bricks and its

10:22

Latin American neighbors creating deeper

10:24

economic and geopolitical ties this

10:26

moment is not just symbolic but

10:28

represents a strategic pivot Latin

10:30

America's immense natural resources make

10:32

the region invaluable to Bricks

10:34

countries like Venezuela Argentina Chile

10:37

and Bolivia hold vast reserves of

10:39

critical Commodities such as oil lithium

10:42

copper and agricultural products for

10:44

example Venezuela's significant oil

10:46

reserves could support brics's efforts

10:48

to reduce Reliance on the US dollar

10:50

while Chile and Bolivia's lithium

10:52

resources could enhance the Block's

10:53

dominance in renewable energy similarly

10:56

Argentina's Agricultural and energy

10:58

wealth aligns with brics's goals of

reducing dependency on Western Supply

Latin Americas Geographic Position

11:01

chains a shift in Latin America's Global

11:04

position the inclusion of Latin American

11:06

nations in bricks also carries immense

11:08

geopolitical weight for decades Latin

11:11

America has been considered the backyard

11:13

of the United States subject to economic

11:15

and political interventions that often

11:17

prioritized us interests brics offers an

11:20

alternative model of cooperation one

11:22

based on mutual respect and Equitable

11:24

trade this resonates with Latin American

11:26

nations seeking greater sovereignty over

11:28

their economies and Resources by joining

11:30

bricks these countries gain access to

11:32

New Markets investment opportunities and

11:35

funding from institutions like the new

11:36

development Bank unlike Western loans

11:39

these Financial Resources often come

11:41

without political strings attached

11:43

making bricks an attractive option

11:45

strategically Latin America's Geographic

11:47

position with access to both the

11:49

Atlantic and Pacific Oceans enhances

11:51

brics's trade routes and connectivity

11:54

stronger ties between brics and Latin

11:56

America could lead to the development of

11:57

new trade corridors linking south of

11:59

America to Africa Asia and Beyond routes

12:02

that bypass traditional Western

12:04

dominated trade systems this

12:06

connectivity aligns with brics's vision

12:08

of a multi-polar world reducing Reliance

What Lies Ahead

12:10

on traditional trade partners and

12:11

fostering economic growth what lies

12:14

ahead for brics expansion the potential

12:16

expansion of bricks isn't limited to the

12:18

23 countries currently showing interest

12:20

the block has its sights set on regions

12:22

like Latin America Asia and Africa by

12:25

carefully selecting members who align

12:27

with its Vision bricks can strengthen

12:29

its influence and achieve its objectives

12:31

but this raises a critical question

12:33

should bricks accept all countries that

12:35

express interest or should it remain

12:37

selective a broad expansion could risk

12:39

the Block's cohesion while a selective

12:41

approach ensures alignment and

12:43

Effectiveness what do you think should
