India is worried about several countries, such as Thailand, Bangladesh and possibly Turkey, queuing up for membership in the BRICS grouping immediately after six nations were allowed entry into the bloc in January this year. It is trying to prevent an immediate re-opening of membership and wants a gap, preferably of five years, before more members are admitted, sources have said.
“New Delhi wants a gap of about five years before admission of a second group of countries into BRICS is considered as it believes that a minimum time would be needed for the bloc to adjust its functioning after admission of the six new members on January 1 2024. It has emphasised this in recent meetings of senior officials and sherpas,” a source tracking the matter told businessline.
With more than 30 countries queued up for admission, the issue of further expansion of the BRICS is likely to come up in the meeting of BRICS Foreign Ministers in Nizhny Novgorod, Russia, on June 10-11.
“It is becoming increasingly clear that through the expansion of the bloc, China wants to turn the BRICS alliance of major developing nations into an alternative to G20 and other US-led groupings and increase its own clout simultaneously. It wants to further challenge the West through the bloc and this is what India may not want. India wants the BRICS to retain its original essence of an equal partnership,” the source said.

The Saudi's are joining the meeting on the 11th with the other aspiring members. Looks like the rumors previously about the Saudis declining to join the BRICS+ officially as a full member state are correct, I think they are just an observer state.Looks like western media reporting was kinda accurate on Saudi dealings with the US
NIZHNY NOVGOROD, June 10. /TASS/. Delegates from 22 countries are expected to take part in the meeting of the BRICS foreign ministers in Nizhny Novgorod, the organizers told journalists.
According to the organizers, representatives from Russia, Brazil, China, Egypt, Ethiopia, India, Iran, South Africa, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) are taking part in sessions on Monday and representatives from Bangladesh, Bahrain, Belarus, Cuba, Kazakhstan, Laos, Mauritania, Saudi Arabia, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Turkey, Venezuela, and Vietnam are expected to attend events on Tuesday, June 11.
BRICS, which originally comprised Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa, was joined by Iran, Ethiopia, Egypt, and the United Arab Emirates in early 2024. While Saudi Arabia received an official invitation to join the forum in 2023 and confirmed its interest in doing so, later media reports suggested that the oil-rich state was still considering membership. Argentina was also invited but declined the offer after its President Javier Milei opposed the move.
When the Collective West hold a vast majority of your wealth assets, I think you will do the same and even grovel at their feet. The Gulf state can't escape until they sacrifice and learned to live a humble simple life which they don't."Disappointed in the Saudis"
As if they were expected to grow a spine and actually diversify their bets. You should except some co-operation from the Arab world, but they truly believe that the West(white race) is superior to China(yellow people) - at the end of the day they will bow down to the West.
