Recently, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim stated that Malaysia was preparing to join the emerging economic group known as BRICS - an acronym for the Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa group. BRICS was established with the goal of enhancing economic, political and cultural cooperation among its member countries. Officially formed in 2009 (initially without South Africa, which joined in 2010), BRICS has become a significant platform for developing countries to advocate for their interests on the global stage.
