The attitude of Argentina's foreign minister-designate, Milley, has experienced a back-and-forth on whether Argentina will join the BRICS organization. At first, he made it clear that he was against joining the BRICS, then for a period of ambiguity, and finally again explicitly opposed it. Such attitudes have repeatedly created uncertainty about whether Argentina will join the BRICS organization. At the same time, India has recently publicly expressed its dissatisfaction with Argentina, which raises questions.
The change in attitude of Argentina** Foreign Minister-designate Milley may stem from a change in his knowledge and understanding of the BRICS organization. Originally, he may have thought that Argentina's membership in the BRICS organization had little to gain and might even be risky. However, in the actual political struggle, he may have felt some pressure, so there was a change in attitude. India's dissatisfaction may stem from concerns about the instability of Argentina's attitude, as the BRICS expansion process requires stable support and cooperation.
Before the BRICS expansion began, many people had begun to speculate about which countries might join. However, the BRICS organization has certain criteria and guidelines for the selection of expansion. First of all, the BRICS is made up of developing countries, so the first consideration is given to friendly countries that play an active role in the development of the BRICS organization in a given region. As one of the largest countries in South America, Argentina's ability to join the BRICS organization will greatly help the expansion of BRICS influence in South America. However, there are also some risks and uncertainties, as it is a big question whether Argentina, which has good relations with Brazil, will be able to hold out until the next term.
India has recently publicly expressed its dissatisfaction with Argentina, arguing that the expansion of the BRICS organization should be based on the other side's voluntariness, and that if a country does not want to become a member of the BRICS, then no one will force it to join. This statement is actually a kind of irony and warning to Argentina, which means that Argentina's joining the BRICS organization is something they are willing to do, and many other countries are willing to join. India is able to say this because they themselves play an important role in the expansion of the BRICS, and their attitude towards Argentina is an indication of their status and influence among the BRICS countries.
Argentina's accession to the BRICS organization may face some dilemmas and challenges. First, in terms of national economic indicators, Argentina may not be eligible to join the BRICS organization, as their economy is already mired in the worst inflation problem in nearly 20 years, and it is heavily indebted and has lost its solvency. Unless it accepts the harsh conditions of the World Bank and the International Monetary Organization, Argentina is already unlikely to borrow from international financial institutions. Argentina's accession to the BRICS is seen as an opportunity to come back from the dead, and China can help Argentina by providing foreign exchange reserves, which Argentina can then replace by resources. However, Argentina chose a different path and gave up this opportunity.
Argentina's repeated stance on joining the BRICS organization has sparked discontent in India. The expansion of the BRICS organization needs to be based on the principle of voluntary and stable cooperation. Argentina's accession to the BRICS organization may face difficulties and challenges, but there are also some opportunities. For the BRICS, expansion requires balancing the interests and considerations of all parties, and for Argentina, joining the BRICS organization also requires an assessment of its own strengths and prospects. In any case, the expansion of the BRICS organization will have an important impact on the global economy and regional cooperation, and all parties should jointly promote the development of the BRICS organization based on the principles of equality, mutual benefit and cooperation.
