What is the impact of Iraq's joining the BRICS group?
Former member of the Foreign Relations Committee in the House of Representatives, Khaled Al-Assadi, confirmed on Tuesday that the Sudanese government’s request to join the BRICS economic group is an extremely important step to organize the relationship with the Russian side politically, economically and security-wise, noting that Russia announced its support for the Iraqi request.
Al-Asadi told Al-Maalouma, “The Iraqi government’s request to join the BRICS economic group is an extremely important step for the Sudanese government to diversify its relations with various countries of the world, especially Russia and the countries organizing the group.”
He added, "Iraq will actually participate in the group's meetings until it gains full membership after completing the membership requirements procedures," noting that "Russia announced its support for the Iraqi request."
The Russian ambassador to Baghdad, Elbrus Kutrashev, affirmed Russia's position in support of Iraq's accession to the BRICS economic group, expressing Russia's readiness to generously assist Iraq if it joins the group. link
