Malaysia will go through the process to enable the country to join the intergovernmental organisation, he added.
He told the press that Malaysia has worked closely with the Brazilian President on BRICS’s extension of members, and is waiting for response from the government of South Africa.
BRICS was established in 2009 as a cooperation platform for emerging economies, comprising Brazil, Russia, India and China, with South Africa joining the group in 2010.
In January 2024, Iran, Egypt, Ethiopia and the United Arab Emirates joined the organisation as new members./.
