Indonesia has been making preparations to participate in various meetings of some 58 working groups of BRICS as part of the intergovernmental organization’s working agenda.

“Preparations will be made by each government agency related to each of the working groups,“ Rolliansyah Soemirat, Spokesman of the Indonesian Foreign Ministry, spoke to Indonesia Business Post on Thursday, January 30, 2025.

In addition, one of the major meetings that will be held in the near future is the Sherpa (representatives of leaders) level meeting which will take place at the end of February.

As previously reported, the Indonesian government welcomes the announcement by Brazil, which holds BRICS’s presidency of 2025, regarding Indonesia’s membership in the intergovernmental organization of global emerging economies.

This milestone reflects Indonesia’s growing and active role in global affairs and its commitment to strengthening multilateral cooperation for a more inclusive and equitable global order. Indonesia views its membership in BRICS as a strategic step to enhance collaboration with, and also between, fellow emerging economies in advancing the shared principles of equality, mutual respect, and sustainable development.

“As a growing and diverse economy, Indonesia is committed to contributing actively to the BRICS agenda, including promoting economic resilience, technological cooperation, sustainable development, and addressing global challenges such as climate change, food security, and public health,” the Indonesian Foreign Ministry said in a statement on January 7, 2025.

Indonesia believes that BRICS provides a valuable platform for fostering South-South cooperation and ensuring that the voices and aspirations of developing countries are heard and reflected in global decision-making processes.

The ministry said that Indonesia remains dedicated to working closely with all BRICS members, as well as with others, to build a just, peaceful, and prosperous world.

The ministry also extended its appreciation to the 2024 BRICS Presidency of Russia for their support and leadership in facilitating Indonesia’s entry into BRICS, as well as appreciates the Presidency of Brazil for announcing Indonesia’s inclusion in the group.

This process is the culmination of a series of close engagement Indonesia has had with BRICS since attending the BRICS Summit in Johannesburg in 2023 under the Presidency of South Africa, and its participation in the Kazan Summit in 2024 under the Presidency of Russia.
