L'Argentina will not be part of the Brics. President Javier Milei has formalized the decision, announced during the election campaign, not to include Buenos Aires in the group of emerging countries consisting of Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa. As local television station TN explained, the tenant of Casa Rosada “doesn’t believe it suitable” that his nation is part of the alliance.
News portal Infobae said Milei had sent official letters to Xi JinpingVladimir Putin, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and Narendra Modi, in which he wrote: “As you know, the foreign policy of the government I head is very different differ from that of the previous government” and that “some decisions need to be reviewed, such as joining the Brics”. Argentina's entry into the group was formalized by the former president in October Alberto Fernandez, at a meeting with the President of the Brics Development Bank Dilma Rousseff. Implementation was planned for January 2024.
The Argentine Foreign Minister's statements, reported by Clarín, echoed and underlined Milei's statements differences in terms of foreign policy with the previous government. However, El Loco reiterated that it wants to maintain business relations with the members of the Economic Forum. “I would like to underline my government's commitment to intensify bilateral relations with your country, particularly through expansion Trade flows and from investment“, we read in the letters sent to the various leaders. It is therefore a softening of the tone compared to that maintained during the election campaign. Milei had actually stated that “our geopolitical alignment is with the United States and Israel.” We will not go along with that communists“, and had often described the Beijing authorities as Murderer those who pursue the desire to live in freedom.
According to many international observers, the economic forum of the Brics countries has become one political platform for China's hegemonic aspirations, a pole of opposition to the US-led bloc. The time will come on January 1, 2024 will expand up to and including Iran, Ethiopia, Saudi Arabia, Egypt and the United Arab Emirates, i.e. including the 36% of global GDP and the 47% the population of the planet. In addition, leaders said at the Johannesburg summit in August that the door remains open for other nations that want to challenge the West's dominance of world politics and join a bloc that opposes developed countries G7.
