As noted, Algeria has almost all the necessary conditions for this, and Moscow has nothing against it.
In general, today quite a few states are inclined to join the BRICS, according to the Russian Foreign Ministry, about a dozen countries from different parts of the world have declared their readiness to join. The procedure for accepting new members is currently being developed. And besides Algeria, which submitted an application just now, Iran, which submitted an application back in June, is awaiting acceptance.
