Many expect that the BRICS Alliance will announce further expansion at the October 2024 Summit in Kazan. Many expect that the remaining 14 members, observer states and dialogue partners of the Shanghai Co-operation Organisation (SCO) will join. These are: Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Pakistan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Afghanistan, Belarus, Mongolia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Cambodia, Nepal, Sri Lanka and Turkiye. The BRICS 25. However, many other countries are likely to join as well, in the near future, let alone in the more distant future. At the very least these could include: Algeria, Venezuela, Bolivia, Thailand and Indonesia. The BRICS 30. If so, the G7, already overtaken by the BRICS 5, let alone the BRICS 11, will become irrelevant, just as the split G20 already is. The BRICS 30, well over half of the world, will control huge majorities of the world’s energy, commodities, resources and manufacturing and technology. Others will also want to join it, from Vietnam to the DCR Congo, from Serbia and Hungary. The BRICS 100 may soon be achieved: Latin America-Eastern Europe-Asia-Africa.
