Brazil will remain a member of the BRICS bloc regardless of the outcome of its upcoming elections, according to Valentina Matviyenko, the speaker of Russia's Federation Council, as reported by TASS.
Matviyenko reportedly said that BRICS membership is beneficial for all participating countries, including Brazil, suggesting that the economic and diplomatic advantages of the grouping are seen by Russian officials as strong enough to outlast any shifts in Brazilian domestic politics.
BRICS, which groups Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa and a number of more recently added members, has positioned itself as a counterweight to Western-led economic and political institutions, though member states have varying domestic political dynamics that occasionally raise questions internationally about the durability of their participation.
TASS's report does not specify which Brazilian elections Matviyenko was referring to, nor does it include comment from Brazilian officials on the bloc's future role in the country's foreign policy.
Further details on the basis for Matviyenko's assessment, or any additional remarks she may have made about BRICS more broadly, were not included in the available source material.
