The BRICS group of countries representing Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa held their annual meeting recently. This group of countries represents a big part of the world population and global economy.
BRICS group members constitute forty percent of the world's population and one-fourth of global GDP. https://t.co/XH0hb58luc

China invited other nations to attend the meeting.
China has invited Indonesia, Malaysia, Uzbekistan, Iran, Egypt, Algeria & even Fiji + others to BRICS+ meeting today.
These countries are likely to join BRICS as China & Russia want to expand it to counter EU. No Pakistan anywhere.

It just shows how the rest of the world is tired of the West. They view the West as a dying empire that is fading away into irrelevancy. The embarrassment in Afghanistan and now the debacle in the Ukraine is only going to cause more countries to seek closer economic ties with the BRICS countries.
