Our Participation in BRICS

Commitment to Diversity and Dialogue

The UAE’s accession to the BRICS group highlights its commitment to multilateral cooperation, constructive international dialogue, and the promotion of global partnerships that drive sustainable development, prosperity, and collective well-being. Today, BRICS represents approximately 45% of the world’s population, 25% of global exports, and accounts for 29% of global GDP, reflecting its growing influence in shaping global economic and geopolitical dynamics.

In 2024, the UAE formally joined the BRICS group following a successful application ratified by the five founding members: the Federative Republic of Brazil, the Russian Federation, the Republic of India, the People’s Republic of China, and the Republic of South Africa. This strategic move further strengthens the UAE’s role in shaping inclusive and multipolar global governance.
