*🔴 NEWS ALERT* ```(21.06.2025)``` *📌Sri Lanka should join the Russia-led BRICS as it has become a grouping to be reckoned with, Former President who is on a visit to Russia said.* *“I don’t think Russia is isolated. It deals with many countries in the world, including our part of the world. Russia’s connections keep growing. BRICS became a large group. A group which is larger than any other economic grouping. It consists of countries in our part of the world. I thought we should apply for its membership during my regime. Already, there are newer members in BRICS, such as Iran and Indonesia. Some others have also applied. It is an important group both politically and economically. It can represent countries such as Sri Lanka, which is not a part of the developed Western group of nations.* *“Non-Aligned Movement has collapsed. I think BRICS will close that gap,” Mr. Wickremesinghe added, speaking on the sidelines of the Valdai Discussion Club Forum in St. Petersburg.* *●▬🇱🇰 SL NEWS EXPRESS▬●* Follow our news channel to receive all news quickly⤵️ https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VajTmwiHLHQc0KtJPl0z *Display Your Advertisements & Business Promotions on Our WhatsApp Platforms ⤵️* https://wa.me/message/3RPSAFECX622J1
