Vietnam's Growing Role at BRICS Enhances International Standing

Vietnam is steadily enhancing its international standing and credibility by deepening its engagement with BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa). This strategic move clearly demonstrates the consistent foreign policy of the Communist Party of Vietnam and the State, contributing to the deepening of bilateral relations with BRICS member states. It has been welcomed by the member countries and highly appreciated by the international community. BRICS, as a bloc of emerging economies, is increasing its influence in global economic and political affairs. Vietnam's participation or strengthened engagement within this framework can be seen as an indication of the country's intention to play a more active role on the global stage. Particularly, amidst the complex relationship with China, Vietnam is seeking to build relationships with a diverse range of countries and broaden its diplomatic options. Strengthening ties with BRICS nations has the potential to accelerate economic growth and improve its capacity to jointly address international challenges. Furthermore, Vietnam's foreign policy is based on principles of respecting national sovereignty, non-interference in internal affairs, and peaceful resolution, and its cooperation with BRICS is understood to be based on these principles. This is part of Vietnam's endeavor to establish its position as a responsible actor in the international community.
