"Of course, we are interested in becoming a full member of BRICS. We believe that for this it is necessary to go through certain processes within the BRICS. We are doing all this gradually, while using all possible tools that will help improve the situation in our country with the help of the experience that these States have. It is important to note that the BRICS members are the largest economies in the world, and cooperation with them will allow us to grow as a country and our people to prosper," the minister said.
