BRICS expands to 10 Members, as more countries seek to join the Global South alliance

BRICS nations represent around 45 percent of the world’s population and 16 percent of global trade. Originally, comprised of four of the world’s fastest-growing emerging economies – Brazil, Russia, India, and China -- South Africa joined two years later.

The bloc says it aims to promote peace, security, development, and cooperation in the Global South. CGTN’s Luis Chirino reports from Havana.
