The announcement was made by Brazil, which currently holds the rotating presidency of BRICS. As the tenth nation to receive partner country status—alongside Belarus and others—Viet Nam will now engage in BRICS-led activities without formal full-member responsibilities.
This partnership reflects Viet Nam’s growing influence on the world stage. Described by Brazil’s Foreign Ministry as a “dynamic economy deeply integrated into global value chains,” Viet Nam stands out as a key player in Asia’s economic transformation. Its inclusion affirms BRICS’ recognition of nations that are shaping the future of international trade, technology, and development.
Brazil emphasized that Viet Nam’s entry aligns with BRICS’ shared vision of fostering a more inclusive and representative global governance model. The bloc continues to advocate for stronger South-South cooperation, equitable international frameworks, and more balanced geopolitical dialogues.
For Globalicons, Viet Nam’s partnership signals a powerful message: global collaboration is no longer confined to traditional powers. As rising economies align through shared goals, the future of international cooperation is being redefined—where diverse voices, innovative economies, and regional leaders come together to create impact on a global scale.
As BRICS evolves, partnerships like these showcase a new era of opportunity—where vision, values, and strategic alliances shape the course of global development.
