The upcoming BRICS summit is generating significant buzz, primarily due to widespread discussions and plans for mass expansion. The geopolitical landscape is shifting, and BRICS is at the forefront of this change. This month, all eyes are on the bloc as leaders deliberate on the criteria and potential candidates for further enlargement.

A key milestone to remember is 5 de feb. de... well, while details around that specific date are unclear, the momentum building towards the next significant BRICS gathering is palpable. A recent event, the 20th BRICS Summit held in 2025 marked a pivotal moment in the bloc’s history, with the addition of Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran and the UAE as members signalling BRICS’ growing influence and ambition to represent a larger share of the global population and economy.

The implications of this expansion are far-reaching. With the addition of new members in BRICS, the group of emerging powers will be more globally representative—but also face more internal divisions. Navigating these complexities will be crucial for the bloc's continued success and effectiveness in shaping global policies.

Expect detailed announcements and concrete plans for future expansion to be a central theme of the next BRICS summit. Stay tuned for updates on the latest developments and analysis of the potential impact on the global order.
