Reinhard Butikofer: BRICS development “means a massive challenge for the EU”


He was commenting on the BRICS summit in South Africa.

Under China’s leadership, a decision was made to admit another six countries as BRICS members in the coming year.

This will significantly increase the international weight of BRICS, even if there are relevant differences between the members.

The BRICS group of major emerging economies – Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa – held its 15th heads of state and government summit in Johannesburg between August 22 and Aug. 24.

The BRICS countries are often seen as a counterweight to the Western-led world but six new countries – Argentina, Egypt, Iran, Ethiopia, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates – are set to join in January.
