Palestine on Tuesday expressed its interest in joining the BRICS grouping and is actively engaging with member countries to seek support for its bid.

Speaking to ANI, Palestinian Ambassador to India, Abdullah Abu Shawesh, said Palestine sees BRICS as a vital platform and is hopeful of receiving India’s backing for full membership.

“BRICS is a very important platform, and we look forward to being a full part of this. We are already in discussion with all the BRICS members, and we look forward to India supporting our request," Abu Shawesh said.

The envoy noted that Palestine greatly values India’s role in international forums and considers New Delhi a key player in shaping global consensus.

The BRICS bloc — comprising Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa — recently expanded to include new members, reflecting its growing influence among emerging economies. Palestine believes that membership would strengthen its voice on global matters, particularly concerning its ongoing conflict with Israel and its call for wider international recognition.
