BRICS Nations Say Arbitrary Revision of G20 Membership Is Inadmissible
A joint document cited by TASS states BRICS countries stress the importance of the G20's continued and productive functioning.
BRICS member nations have said that any arbitrary revision of the Group of 20 (G20) membership would be inadmissible, according to a document reported by Russian news agency TASS.
"We recognize the importance of the continued and productive functioning of the G20," the document said, as cited by TASS.
The statement did not elaborate on the specific circumstances prompting the remarks, nor did it name any particular country or proposal related to changes in G20 composition.
TASS did not specify which BRICS meeting or forum produced the document, nor did it provide further details on the signatories or the full text of the statement.
The G20 comprises 19 countries, the European Union and the African Union, and serves as a forum for major economies to coordinate on global economic and financial issues. BRICS, whose founding members include Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa, has in recent years expanded its membership and has increasingly voiced positions on global governance structures.
Further details on the context of the statement were not immediately available.
