Malaysia is officially part of

I was honestly shocked because I 100% believed that they will tell us "We'll get back to you in 5 years."

The Edge Malaysia · Malaysia, 12 other countries officially added as BRICS partner countriesMalaysia has been recognised as one of 13 nations officially added to BRICS as a partner country, a bloc that collectively accounts for one-fifth of global trade. According to an update from @BRICSInfo on X, the bloc officially added 13 new nations to the alliance as partner countries, though not yet as full members.
