Iran Seeks Increased BRICS Partnership Ahead of Summit
Iran is reportedly seeking increased BRICS partnerships ahead of the bloc’s upcoming summit in August. Moreover, the country is seeking growing relations with South. Iran will likely use the BRICS summit as an opportunity to pursue more trade and financial partnerships with its allies, as a part of the country’s “ Look to the East ” policy.
By joining the bloc, Iran is seeking stronger ties with key BRICS members like China, India, and Russia, which continue to trade with Iran despite US sanctions. BRICS offers a vital platform for these strengthened relationships.
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian described ties with Russia as “strategic” as he met counterpart Vladimir Putin at the BRICS summit, which his nation is eager to leverage for economic and political gain. This growing partnership underscores Iran's commitment to deepening its involvement within the BRICS framework. The anticipation surrounding Iran's potential role within the BRICS alliance is high, fueled by its strategic location and resource wealth.
