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. It is now open to possible expansion. The countries that expressed their desire to be a part of the group include Iran, Argentina, Bangladesh, and Saudi Arabia.
