IDXChannel - Indonesian Foreign Minister Sugiono has stated that Indonesia's accession to BRICS is part of the country's active diplomacy.
This was conveyed by Sugiono in his speech at the Annual Press Statement of the Indonesian Minister of Foreign Affairs 2025, held on 10 January.
"And this month, Indonesia has officially joined as a member of BRICS," he said.
"In less than three months, the BRICS members agreed to decide and accept Indonesia as a full member. Here, we see that Indonesia is viewed as an important country that should be able to join soon," he added.
