Argentine Foreign Minister-designate Milley's repeated attitude has attracted widespread attention on the question of whether to join the BRICS organization. His attitude, from clear opposition at the beginning, to ambiguity in the middle, and finally to clear opposition, has made the BRICS countries doubt whether to admit Argentina. India's recent public expression of dissatisfaction with Argentina's attitude has sparked further discussion on the issue.
Whether Argentina joins the BRICS organization has been a topic of great concern. Before the expansion of the BRICS, there was speculation about which countries might join, and Argentina was not included at the time. This is not because of reluctance, but because the BRICS organization is still relatively weak, so when choosing countries for expansion, it prefers countries in a particular region that have friendly relations with the BRICS countries. According to this criterion, Argentina's inclusion is most likely a request from Brazil. If Argentina joins, it will become a member of the BRICS at the same time as Brazil, which will greatly benefit the expansion of BRICS influence in South America. However, countries such as China and Russia also have concerns, because it is still a question whether Argentina, which currently has good relations with Brazil, will be able to govern in the next term. The decision of the BRICS countries to invite Argentina to join this year is actually risky.
After Milley's election, he and the foreign minister-designate continued to oppose it, although reality taught him a lot. Their rhetoric on the issue of the BRICS organization is suspiciously hyped, which India can no longer tolerate. A spokesman for India said on the 7th that in the process of BRICS expansion, many countries have expressed their willingness to join and put forward various standards and guidelines. In accordance with these criteria and guidelines, the BRICS countries have invited six countries to join, but there is no intention to force any country to join. The meaning of India *** is obvious, that is, Argentina voluntarily joined the BRICS, and no one will force it. The attitude of the BRICS countries towards Argentina's accession is expressed in this blunt way by India.
When selecting countries for expansion, the BRICS countries have always insisted on linking standards with national strength. Judging by the country's economic indicators, Argentina may not be eligible to join the BRICS. Argentina's economy has fallen into its worst inflation in nearly 20 years and is facing a huge external debt problem that has become insolvent. Unless it accepts tough conditions from international financial institutions such as the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund, it is almost impossible for Argentina to obtain loans from these institutions. Joining the BRICS would have been seen as an opportunity for Argentina's economy to get out of trouble, as China could provide financial support to Argentina through its vast foreign exchange reserves, which Argentina could do through resource exchanges**. However, Argentina itself chose to give up, perhaps dooming its fate.
Argentina's economic problems not only affect the country's development prospects, but also challenge its accession to the BRICS. The BRICS wants to expand its influence in global affairs, but at the same time it needs to ensure that the expanded countries can make a substantial contribution to the organization. Against this backdrop, the BRICS countries are bound to be more cautious in their approach to Argentina.
Through the discussion on whether Argentina should join the BRICS organization, I believe that it is wise for the BRICS countries to always adhere to the principle of linking standards and strength in the issue of expansion. As a cooperative organization of developing countries, BRICS countries should give priority to those countries that are friendly to them in a specific region for expansion. In this way, the expanded countries will be more motivated and able to contribute to the development of the BRICS countries and push the entire organization to be stronger.
The economic challenges facing Argentina are clear, with inflation and a huge external debt burden making it difficult to join the BRICS. While China is willing to provide support, the risks of accommodating Argentina may be too high for the BRICS. Therefore, I understand the cautious attitude of the BRICS countries to Argentina's accession.
As a self-editor, I believe that we should maintain a calm and objective attitude when reporting and commenting on international affairs. Each country has its own national conditions and interests, and we cannot force all countries to follow our expectations and demands. BRICS expansion is a complex issue, and we need to fully consider the interests and risks of all parties in order to make informed decisions.
In short, the repeated attitude of the BRICS countries towards Argentina's accession has aroused India's dissatisfaction. When choosing countries to expand, the BRICS countries link the criteria to national strength, which makes Argentina's accession less likely. Argentina's economic problems also pose challenges for its accession to the BRICS. When dealing with international affairs, we should maintain objectivity, impartiality and rational thinking so that we can make wise decisions.
