Thailand aims to become first BRICS member in Southeast Asia, eyeing more development opportunities
Thailand will apply to join BRICS to become the group's first member from Southeast Asia, after the Thai cabinet has approved the letter of intent for the country to join the organization, a Thai government spokesperson was cited by media reports as saying on Tuesday.
From the perspective of the BRICS group itself, analysts said that the expansion of BRICS to include more members helps create a more balanced global economy and push for further development of the Global South.
Joining the BRICS countries will enhance Thailand's international status and increase Thailand's opportunities on the international stage, the spokesperson said.
