Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) spokesperson Arindam Bagchi on Thursday refuted reports that India is against the BRICS expansion, calling them "baseless speculation." The upcoming BRICS Summit, scheduled to take place in Johannesburg, will likely witness discussions around admitting new members to the group. The United Arab Emirates (UAE), Saudi Arabia, Argentina, Iran, Indonesia, and Kazakhstan have reportedly shown interest in joining the BRICS.
