January 26, Pozirk. <\/em><\/strong>Alaksandar \u0141uka\u0161enka has expressed his intention to attend the BRICS summit in India later this year, as conveyed in his congratulatory message to Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Republic Day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

India, which is currently chairing BRICS, \u201ccontributes to strengthening a multipolar and just world,\u201d his press office reported, citing the message. The Belarusian ruler added that he hoped to meet Modi at the summit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBelarus is proud of its long-standing friendly relations with India,\u201d the message reads. \u201cI am confident that through joint efforts, we will fully realize the significant potential for cooperation in industry, digitalization, agriculture and security.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Formed in 2009 as an informal platform to oppose the Western-dominated world order, BRIC originally included Brazil, China, India and Russia, with South Africa joining in 2010.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2024, the list of BRICS members expanded to include Egypt, Ethiopia, Indonesia, Iran, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u0141uka\u0161enka attended the BRICS summit in October 2024 in Kazan, Russia, shortly before Belarus was granted partner status in the organization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
