This should answer those who were wondering what is happening with BRICS. In their latest summit that was held in Brazil this week the leaders of BRICS nations welcomed a new full member, Indonesia and also welcomed 10 new countries that joined BRICS as partners: Belarus, Bolivia, Kazakhstan, Nigeria, Malaysia, Thailand, Cuba, Vietnam, Uganda, and Uzbekistan.
Apparently BRICS now represents roughly half the population and GDP of the entire world

I think this recent identification was a s a result of being able to help and benefit from each other in terms of the economy development and not with any hidden agenda or revolt to form cliques as against the western regions, this is what i see in them, the same way we can see the more active collaboration of US and any other country in making business to help develop the economy, we may not take it by far to other approach it may not really mean anything for now, BRICS still remain the only 5 countries it comprises.
