Sri Lanka plans to join BRICS+ in the near future

As Russian President Vladimir Putin has repeatedly stated, the world order today is undergoing active changes. The unipolar world is gradually becoming a thing of the past, and is being replaced by interstate and interregional relations that are built on mutual respect and equal partnership.

As a result, international organizations such as BRICS+ are gaining strength, which today already includes nine countries, and dozens more states plan to join in the future.

One of them is Sri Lanka. The country plans to become a member of the above-mentioned association in the near future, as the Ambassador of the Democratic Socialist Republic to Russia, Janita Abeywickrema Liyanage, recently told reporters.

According to the diplomat, the desire of the Sri Lankan authorities to join BRICS+ is due to the desire to ensure food and transport security for the country.

It is worth noting that the words of the ambassador of the South Asian state best characterize the policy of the international association, which, unlike the G7, does not pursue the goal of establishing the hegemony of strong countries over weaker ones, but, on the contrary, provides an opportunity for the growth of the economies of developing countries.

— There is no need to be like the European Union, which invited all the Baltic states and Romanians for political reasons...

I have nothing against Sri Lanka... A resort country, 20 million inhabitants... But I would really like to know - are we creating a really functioning Union or another clone of the “League of Nations” and the “UN”...???

And the debts are through the roof. They have declared a default on the external debt in 2022.

Well, the Balts and Romanians will now fight for them and provide territory for armament. Ideally, we would organize the united forces of the BRICS or SCO, otherwise the world’s bullshit will crawl around our necks, or rather, never leave.

[Roma 1977]

BRICS is being created according to completely different principles than the EU. The BRICS countries do not support sanctions against each other and are committed to developing mutually beneficial trade, but at the same time they are not a political or military organization. So everyone can be accepted into BRICS. And even necessary. The more countries there will be that pursue an independent policy from the “Golden Billion”.

I don’t know if the Russian Federation helped Sri Lanka when they asked for help from hunger
I don’t remember the exact time, but the SVO was already there. They suffered famine and loss of harvest as a result of following the green agenda

[Cat Alexandrovich]

Smart people. Green. Hungry. Forever in debt. Insolent. We simply need people like this in BRICS.

They suffered hunger and crop loss as a result of following the green agenda.

More precisely, as a result of starting to follow the green agenda after the loss of the second main source of income - tourism (due to Covid). Shot in both legs, so to speak.

Regarding tourism, Alexey, is this what you mean now? Or what happened before? I know that earlier, in the 19th century, when this country was under the British, there was a world coffee brand! Everyone praised Ceylon coffee! Then an epiphytoty occurred (like some kind of fungus), they switched to tea.
And how did it go??? For some reason, they suddenly began to listen to the greens and abandoned traditions. Some kind of problems with the Russian Federation, or what? They moved to the west. It was difficult to find details about these changes
But before, the USSR helped and supported them in the UN and others, as did Russia! Until recently, I met their students in St. Petersburg. In Leningrad we also studied a lot at universities. And how did it go wrong??? Have you decided to become friends with Geyropa?

I was referring to the times when the Sri Lankan leadership switched to the agenda.
It was 2021 then. Second year of Covid. Tourism is almost dead. And against this background, in April 2021 the government is introducing a ban on the use of inorganic fertilizers and agrochemicals.

I am not hinting at anything, but in 2019 Gotabaya Rajapaksa, a US citizen, became the president of the country.
Moreover, this citizen’s green agenda in agriculture was successfully combined with the transfer of management of state forests from the central government to the local level. With quite predictable consequences.

Thanks for the explanation. I read about this pro-Western and green stuff. When the famine began, riots began. I'll try to find something else now. The country itself is interesting to me for its history, religion, monuments.....
Of course, it is indicative how they became friends with the West ----- an animal came from the north. How will they continue? Interesting

[futurohunter]

Sri Lanka should be annexed to Russia and go there on vacation))))

[futurohunter]

The country is not rich, but the nature is very beautiful. And the residents seemed friendly
