Belarus is stepping onto the global stage with bold strategies for engagement in the SCO and BRICS. These plans highlight its commitment to international cooperation and economic growth, including its 2024 SCO membership and BRICS partnership. Designed for the next five years, these strategies showcase Belarus’ vision to lead and thrive in a rapidly changing world.
BRICS Bridge – Belarus is making waves on the global stage as President Alexander Lukashenko sets his country on an ambitious path with new strategies for engagement in the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) and BRICS. Announced on Wednesday, these plans showcase Belarus’ determination to rise as a key player in shaping international cooperation and economic growth.
The SCO strategy acts as a blueprint for Belarus to make its mark, focusing on actionable goals and pragmatic mechanisms for collaboration in the near and medium term. Meanwhile, BRICS has provided Belarus with a platform to strengthen its strategic and economic ties with emerging and developing nations. The BRICS strategy takes aim at forging deeper connections with member and partner states, reinforcing Belarus’ role as an innovator and bridge-builder in these influential blocs.
In 2024, Belarus turned heads by officially joining the SCO family and solidifying its position as a BRICS partner state. This partnership with BRICS not only offers Belarus an opportunity to enhance its economic position but also enables it to play a prominent role in global governance reform. These five-year plans, designed to adapt to shifting global dynamics, are more than just strategies—they are a bold statement of Belarus’ intent to lead, connect, and thrive in a rapidly evolving world.
