The President of Argentina has sent official letters to the leaders of the BRICS countries, in which he notified them of his country’s refusal to join the organisation. The letter notes that Argentina’s participation in the association is considered inappropriate.
Context: At the moment, BRICS is made up of Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa. Following the summit in Johannesburg, six more countries decided to join BRICS: Argentina, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Ethiopia, Egypt and the UAE. However, Argentina’s presidential election was won by libertarian Javier Mealey, who opposed Argentina’s accession to BRICS.
