The Kremlin expresses regret over Argentina's decision not to join BRICS, hoping for reconsideration.
The Kremlin said on Friday that it regretted Argentina's decision not to join the BRICS bloc, and that it hoped that Buenos Aires would reconsider.
Argentine President Javier Milei had said that he would decline an invitation to join the bloc, choosing instead to deepen ties with the United States.
The bloc — made up of Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa — in August announced it was admitting six new members in a bid to counter the Western-led global order.
The membership of Argentina, Ethiopia, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Egypt and the United Arab Emirates was due to take effect from January 1, 2024.
The letters signed by Mr. Milei and published by several media houses said Argentina’s membership was “not considered appropriate at this time.”
