Turkey's Bid to Join BRICS Welcomed by Russia

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov announced Russia's approval of Turkey's interest in joining the BRICS group. Peskov stated the topic will be discussed at the next summit. Although there is significant interest from various countries to join BRICS, it is uncertain if all can be accommodated.

Russia welcomes Turkey's reported desire to become part of the BRICS group of nations, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Tuesday, saying the subject would be on the agenda of the organisation's next summit.

Peskov said there was heightened interest in BRICS from various states, but said it was unlikely the grouping could completely satisfy all interested nations.
