Malaysia wants to join BRICS, China’s Xi an ‘outstanding leader’: Anwar

Al Jazeera  

Malaysia wants to join the BRICS grouping of emerging economies, the Southeast Asian country’s leader has said. In an interview with Chinese media outlet Guancha, Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim said his government would soon begin the process of joining the bloc, once it had received feedback from South Africa – the current BRICS chair – to its expression of interest. In his interview, Anwar said China’s rise had “brought us a glimmer of hope that there are checks and balances in the world” and praised Chinese President Xi Jinping for recognising the importance of rejuvenating Asian values. The Malaysian leader also took aim at a “Western narrative” that he said focused excessively on Hamas’s October 7 attack on Israel. China has been Malaysia’s largest trading partner since 2009, with total trade last year reaching 450.84 billion ringgit.
