Thailand and Malaysia Apply to Join BRICS
In a strategic move signaling economic competitiveness, Thailand and Malaysia have both applied to join the BRICS group. Thailand's official application reflects its intent to boost its economic standing and leverage its neutral stance and friendly relations with China. Malaysia, aligning with Thailand's ambitions, sees BRICS as a platform to maintain its neutral global alignment while engaging with major powers like Russia, China, and India. Malaysia's Prime Minister has openly acknowledged the country's neutral position within the BRICS organization, contrasting with Singapore's more pro-West stance.

Despite previous meetings failing to produce substantial agreements, both nations are committed to continuing dialogue. A proposed joint boundary inspection by Nepal has been rejected by China, extending the unresolved issue since 2006.
