Named after its founding members, BRICS a group of emerging economies led by Russia and China has been touted as a serious challenger to the Western-led economic order. During his recent trip to Beijing, Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan said that in addition to a Customs Union with the EU, Ankara was exploring new trade opportunities with groups like BRICS. Does Türkiye have similar interests with the bloc?

Strait Talk, hosted by Ayse Suberker, is TRT World’s programme that features in-depth analysis of Türkiye’s role in the world.

    Good for Turkiye. Why bother with those Europeans who look down on you and will never accept you? BRICS+ will be so much bigger and better and you will be welcomed and accepted.
  • @LJama6119
    The future is with the Brics+. I hope Indonesia, Bangladesh, Turkiye, Nigeria, Aljeria and Mexico join Brics+.

    Nato and EU serves the interests in Washington. Happy to see Turkiye looking out for its own interests.
  • @damienmurray3928
    The Turkish leader is fed up with the Americans “playing ducks and drakes” with the Turkish economy and otherwise interfering in Turkey’s internal affairs.
  • @WhatsNextt
    Turkiye should be part of it for its own interests.
  • @unifieddynasty
    BRICS is about multipolarity instead of hegemony. Turkiye would gain much more when joining BRICS, including foremost Turkiye's sovereign dignity.
  • @magnaviator
    Turkiye used to be the gateway to both Europe and Asia. It is a perfect fit and has the most to gain from the BRI and the new silk road. Geography determines geopolitics, as in ancient times, so will it be in future.

    Turkiye fits far better in BRICS+ than in EU, and a tripled larged market is far more prosporous for TR !
