Cuba Requests Russia for BRICS "Partner Status" Amid Rising US Tensions | Firstpost America

Cuba has officially requested to join BRICS as a "partner country" in a letter addressed to Russian President Vladimir Putin. BRICS, composed of emerging economies like Russia, China, India, and Brazil, has expanded in 2024, welcoming Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, and the UAE. While Cuba's 2023 bid for full membership was unsuccessful, the partner status offers a way to collaborate without formal membership. This move aligns with Cuba's growing cooperation with Moscow, driven by their mutual rivalry with the US. As BRICS gains prominence in the Global South, Cuba seeks to strengthen its international position through this alliance.
