Will the BRICS be poorer if Argentina declines the invitation to join

🇦🇷 Will the BRICS be “poorer“ if Argentina declines the invitation to join? Anil Sooklal, South Africa BRICS Sherpa responds to possible rejection of bloc membership by Buenos Aires, given the stance of the country’s president-elect, Javier Milei “I believe all of these countries that asked to formally join BRICS felt that they will benefit by becoming a BRICS member. And I think that’s why you had the large number of countries wanting to join BRICS. But it’s Argentina that will have to make that decision in terms of what value it brings,“ the South African BRICS official said, referring to his own country’s membership in the five-nation alliance and the “tremendous value“ it brings.
