BRICS, which includes Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa, originated in July 2006 during a meeting at the G8 Outreach Summit in St. Petersburg. Following the formalization of BRIC in September 2006, the group held its first summit in Yekaterinburg, Russia, in June 2009. In 2010, South Africa’s admission transformed BRIC into BRICS.
This coalition represents significant emerging economies, accounting for 41% of the global population, 24% of the world’s GDP, and over 16% of international trade. BRICS countries have consistently driven global economic growth and collaborated on critical issues involving political, economic, and cultural exchanges.
