Bangladesh is likely to become a member of the BRICS in August this year. Bangladesh's Foreign Minister AK Abdul Momen said this while briefing reporters about the outcome of the meeting between Premier Sheikh Hasina and South African President Matamela Cyril Ramaphosa here at the Bilateral Meeting room of Palais de Nations.
FM Momen said the BRICS Bank had invited Bangladesh as a guest, adding that in the future it would invite Bangladesh to join in.
'Their conference will be held in August in South Africa and the prime minister will go there,' Momen said.
The BRICS now has five members - Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa.
In the future they will add eight more countries as members. They have invited Bangladesh, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Indonesia.
'This will be another area of our financing. It will be good for us as we need money,' Bangladesh's Foreign Minister said.
