The official announcement by the Brazilian government underscored Vietnam’s strategic importance
In a significant diplomatic development, Vietnam
has officially become a BRICS partner country. The Brazilian
government, holding the rotating BRICS presidency as pro tempore Chair
for 2025, announced this decision on Saturday.
- This move significantly expands BRICS’s influence, incorporating a vibrant Southeast Asian economy into its network.
Vietnam’s
formal recognition follows a period of active engagement and clear
interest from Hanoi. Pham Thu Hang, spokesperson for Vietnam’s Ministry
of Foreign Affairs, confirmed Vietnam’s proactive stance, emphasising
the nation’s aim to strengthen the voice and role of developing
countries within multilateral frameworks.
This aligns with Vietnam’s
established foreign policy of independence, self-reliance,
multilateralisation, and diversification of foreign relations, aspiring
to be a trusted partner and an active, responsible member of the
international community. Vietnam already holds a significant role in
various international forums, including the United Nations, ASEAN, APEC,
G7, G20, and the OECD.
The “partner country" category within BRICS was established at the 16th
BRICS Summit in Kazan, Russia, in October 2024.
- This classification enables countries to engage with the BRICS bloc without full membership, facilitating broader cooperation and dialogue.
- Vietnam joins as the tenth partner country, alongside Belarus, Bolivia, Kazakhstan, Cuba, Malaysia, Nigeria, Thailand, Uganda, and Uzbekistan.
