Sri Lankan ambassador to Moscow, Pakeer Amza on Wednesday said that President Anura Dissanayake has expressed interest in joining BRICS in a letter sent to Russian President Vladimir Putin in October, and the country expects a positive response in 2025 to join the organization. Amza said the island nation has also addressed other BRICS countries with a request to join as a partner country. He said Sri Lanka views BRICS as an effective partnership to realize its aspiration for mutually beneficial cooperation, peace and development through strengthening comprehensive multilateralism within the framework of the UN Charter. In December, the Sri Lankan leader asked Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to support Colombo's bid to join BRICS. BRICS is an intergovernmental association created in 2006. Russia assumed the rotating presidency of the bloc in 2024. The year began with the accession of new members to the association. In addition to Russia, Brazil, India, China and South Africa, it now includes Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, the United Arab Emirates, and Saudi Arabia. Recently, 9 countries also have shown interest in joining the bloc.
