[REGNUM] The main outcome of the 15th BRICS Leaders Summit, which ended in Johannesburg on August 24, was the adoption of a decision on the potential expansion of the bloc in 2024. Iran, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates, Ethiopia and Argentina received invitations to join the BRICS. But you shouldn't jump too high for joy. Full membership of the listed countries should begin only from January 1, 2024, and before that, you should remember the difference between such words as “acceptance” and “invitation”. And it depends not so much on the leadership of the BRICS, but on the legislative approval process in some of the above-mentioned states.
