Another Country in South East Asia (SEA), this time the Country of Laos has expressed its intention to join the Brazil-Russia-India-China-South Africa (BRICS) Group of Countries, this as expressed by no less than the President of Laos itself, Thonglou Sisoulith.

Laos will be the fifth SEA Country who wants to join BRICS, alongside Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia and Vietnam. President Sisoulith made the Statement during the recent BRICS Plus/Outreach Plenary Session which was held alongside the 16th BRICS Summit in Kazan, Russia.

President Sisoulith was invited to the Session by Russian President Vladimir Putin, and his Statement about BRICS said, "In light of the significant Achievements of BRICS and the growing importance of the Association on the World Stage, the Lao People’s Democratic Republic wishes to formally declare its interest in becoming a Member of BRICS.”

With more and more SEA Countries joining BRICS, the Philippines is in danger of being left out of the Economic Development and Progress thru Trade and Investments that is expected to happen with Partner and Member Countries of the Organization.
