The 2024 BRICS Summit will take place in Kazan, Russia, from October 22 to 24, with the theme "Strengthening Multilateralism for Just Global Development and Security."

This is the first BRICS summit after the membership expansion. According to a Sputnik report on October 14, 33 countries have already announced their participation in the summit, highlighting the growing influence of the group.  Brazil, Russia, India, and China established BRIC in 2006 and South Africa officially joined in 2011, making it "BRICS". New members Saudi Arabia, Egypt, the UAE, Iran, and Ethiopia joined on January 1, 2024, doubling the membership from five to 10.

During the upcoming summit, admitting around 10 more new members will be discussed, according to Belarusian Foreign Minister Maxim Ryzhenkov.

Sri Lankan Foreign Minister Vijitha Herath said on October 14 that Sri Lanka will place on record its request for membership at the outreach BRICS summit.

Malaysia and Turkiye have already submitted their request for membership in July and September respectively. So far, around 30 countries have applied for membership.

As BRICS expands, its influence on global affairs continues to grow, offering a platform for like-minded countries to drive the establishment of a multipolar world order. Innovation and technology cooperation offers unique opportunities for BRICS members to pursue shared progress.
