Colombia 🇨🇴 takes a strategic step toward joining BRICS

With the support of China, Russia, and Brazil, Colombia has formally requested to join the BRICS development bank — a move to diversify its global economic partnerships and seek alternative financing in response to growing trade tensions with the U.S.

During the panel “Colombia and BRICS: Trade Opportunities and Strategic Alliances for Development,” officials emphasized the US$463 million growth in non-mining exports to China in 2024, showcasing Colombia's export potential.

The participation of ambassadors from China, Russia, and Brazil — and a formal invitation from Brazil — signals strong interest in Colombia as a strategic partner.

Is this the beginning of a new chapter for Colombia in global trade?
