Tunisia announced its intention to join the BRICS bloc of emerging economies, including Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa, according to Mahmoud bin Mabrouk, spokesman for the pro-presidential July 25 Movement and advocate for Tunisian President Kais Saied.
Describing BRICS as a viable political, economic, and financial alternative, Bin Mabrouk highlighted the potential for major economic gains and positive social impacts for Tunisia upon joining the group.
Tunisia’s interest in BRICS follows its agreement to participate in China’s “Belt and Road” initiative in 2018.
