Thailand and Malaysia's Entry to BRICS to Democratize the Organization =============== #22d69a32 ver:0.91 Thailand and Malaysia are planning to join BRICS, now known as BRICS+, which aims to add $3.6 trillion in GDP and expand its membership to ASEAN nations. Joining BRICS could benefit Malaysia's economy and provide access to new funding sources, while Thailand's entry is seen as a move that could erode ASEAN centrality. The crumbling international order has given ASEAN greater impetus to deepen its own regional integration. The inclusion of Malaysia and Thailand in BRICS will contribute to the democratization of the organization and bring diversity and new perspectives. #BRICS #ASEAN #economicintegration... #newstr #Brics #Malaysia #Thailand #Democratization #EconomicDevelopment #Trade #RegionalCooperation https://here.news/story/22d69a32?ver=0.91
