@DIRCO_ZA
Correction. 1. They requested/applied to join BRICS, they were not invited.
2. There's no formal notification by Argentina to withdraw from BRICS.
3. There's a BRICS Sherpa meeting currently taking place in Durban 🇿🇦. Argentina is attending.
4. The new President of Argentina was very critical of President Lula and Brazil during his campaign. He has now invited President Lula to his inauguration on 10 December & now stated that he wants good relations with Brazil. He has also stated the same about China, a country he criticised during his campaign.
Amb Sooklal reflected on some of the successes of SA's #BRICS Chairship during his interview with @UbuntuRadioZA. He said South Africa delivered to the satisfaction of all BRICS countries, all due to the Cooperative & collaborative spirit of the #GlobalSouth.
