Ghana is taking steps to join BRICS, a bloc of major emerging economies, after its cabinet approves a decision to formally apply. Ghana’s foreign minister says the government is moving toward an application process, as reported by Nigerian outlets.
The moves come amid engagement with India. India Today reports that India provides backing as BRICS-related efforts are discussed during a visit by India’s external affairs minister, S. Jaishankar. Other coverage frames BRICS as expanding beyond its original members—Brazil, Russia, India and China—while aiming to bring together countries in the global south. Taken together, the outlets describe a decision at Ghana’s executive level alongside diplomatic support from India, but differ in emphasis: some focus on Ghana’s internal approval, while others highlight the role of India’s outreach during high-level talks.
