UAE President Commends BRICS Membership and Vision for Global Prosperity


 

The President of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Mohammed bin Zayed, recently conveyed his appreciation for the UAE's inclusion as a member of BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa). Highlighting the importance of the group, President bin Zayed reiterated the UAE's commitment to collaborative efforts aimed at fostering worldwide prosperity and dignity. His message, shared on X (formerly Twitter), praised the leadership vision of BRICS and underlined the significance of this new alliance. The UAE firmly expressed its dedication to working with fellow BRICS nations to advance the collective well-being of nations and people around the globe.

The expansion of BRICS membership is a notable development. Alongside the existing members, Argentina, Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE have joined the coalition. This move reflects a strategic effort to strengthen BRICS as a counterbalance to Western influence. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi applauded this expansion, recognizing the potential to enhance BRICS' effectiveness. This enlarged membership, effective from January 1, 2024, comprises six major oil-producing nations and has the potential to rally more countries from the "Global South" to advocate for their shared interests.

The collective commitment to prosperity and dignity echoes the spirit of unity and shared purpose that the UAE President highlighted, heralding a new era of collaboration on the international stage.
