Russia welcomes Nato-member Turkey's 'why would we not' on joining BRICS
Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan meets Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi in Beijing, on 4 June 2024. Turkey has previously denied it is moving closer to Russia, saying it would prefer entry into the European Union.
Peskov said there was heightened interest in BRICS - a group now comprising Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, Ethiopia, Iran, Egypt, and the United Arab Emirates - from various states, but said it was unlikely the grouping could completely satisfy all interested nations. Asked whether Turkey would want to join BRICS during a talk at the Center for China and Globalisation on Monday, Fidan said"we would like to of course, why would we not?". However, he did not elaborate further.
It was not immediately clear whether Ankara would take steps to join the BRICS group, as Ankara has not previously stated its desire to formally join.
