Mexico has officially joined the BRICS Alliance, Brics Summit 2023 consisting of Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa. This move has significant implications for Mexico, including national security and economic prospects. Mexico’s admission to BRICS opens up opportunities for collaboration in addressing security challenges and benefiting from the expertise of these influential nations. The alliance expansion may change its direction and potentially lead to the use of the BRICS currency by Mexico. Joining BRICS provides Mexico with an alternative platform, reducing reliance on the United States and offering new avenues for trade and cooperation. However, challenges may arise from differing agendas within the alliance. China’s involvement in BRICS, particularly through the Belt and Road Initiative, presents economic cooperation opportunities for Mexico. Mexico’s potential accession has attracted the attention of other countries, potentially encouraging more nations to join and strengthening the alliance’s influence globally. Mexico must navigate these differences and safeguard its values and interests within the alliance to maximize the benefits for security, economy, and international relationships.
