Uzbekistan has confirmed its readiness to become a BRICS partner state, joining eight other nations set to acquire the status starting January 1, 2025. The announcement was made by Kremlin aide Yury Ushakov, highlighting the growing global reach of the BRICS group.

"As of this time, confirmations of readiness to become a BRICS partner country have been received from Belarus, Bolivia, Indonesia, Kazakhstan, Cuba, Malaysia, Thailand, Uganda and Uzbekistan," Ushakov stated. "From January 1, 2025, they will officially acquire the status of BRICS partner states."

The decision to include partner states was a key outcome of the recent BRICS summit held in Kazan. Invitations were extended to 13 countries, with confirmations from nine so far. Ushakov expressed confidence that responses from the remaining four nations would arrive soon. He also noted Eritrea's interest in collaborating with BRICS, signaling the bloc's increasing global appeal.
