Mexico, Colombia and Uruguay have been invited by the President of Brazil, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, to participate in the next BRICS summit, which will take place in Rio de Janeiro next July.

The Brazilian leader considers the presence of these nations crucial to address issues that constitute global challenges. The invitation was made by Lula da Silva in Montevideo, during the inauguration of Uruguayan President Yamandú Orsi, last Saturday.

“Lula stressed that the BRICS have a significant weight in the world, representing almost half of the population and the international Gross Domestic Product. He also highlighted the influence of China and India within the group, underlining their decisive role in the world economy.”

Despite not being members of the group, the president of Brazil considers that the presence of envoys from Mexico, Uruguay and Colombia is crucial for the next summit in Rio de Janeiro and added: “It is important that at this BRICS summit we truly strengthen two fundamental things. We strengthen multilateralism and we strengthen free trade. Because if there is no free trade, there is no multilateralism, there is no democracy.”
