🚀 VIETNAM JOINS BRICS AS A PARTNER – A STRONG MESSAGE TO THE US?
🟢 The Brazilian government confirms Vietnam has become the 10th partner country of BRICS, alongside Thailand, Malaysia, Cuba, Kazakhstan, and 5 other countries. The role of a 'partner' allows Vietnam to attend summits and participate in the bloc's joint statements.
🟢 A significant signal amid the wave of de-dollarization: BRICS is intensifying plans for non-USD trading, developing its own payment platform, and has even proposed a common currency based on gold.
🟢 With this move, Vietnam not only expands its global financial influence but also demonstrates a desire to diversify economic relations and reduce dependence on the West.
➡️ This can be seen as a strategic step, balancing geopolitical power, and a clear message to the US in the context of the shifting global monetary order.
