Around twenty countries from around the world have applied to join the BRICS group, which currently consists of five nations. An equal number of other countries have expressed an interest, according to the South African spokesperson.
The BRICS group (South Africa, Brazil, China, India, and Russia), aims to carry more weight in international institutions hitherto dominated by the United States and Europe.
