The 15th meeting of BRICS leaders was held in Johannesburg, South Africa from August 22nd to 24th. Currently, more than 20 countries have officially applied to join the BRICS mechanism, and Argentina is one of them. Argentine Ambassador to China, Niu Wangdao, recently stated in an interview with Overseas Network that expanding the membership of the BRICS will promote changes in the global governance system, and joining the BRICS mechanism is one of the main international political issues in Argentina at present.
Niu Wangdao stated that the total population of the BRICS countries accounts for 42% of the world's total, and their economic output accounts for 25%. They possess abundant natural resources such as oil, natural gas, strategic mineral resources, and rich biodiversity, as well as large-scale food production capabilities. For a long time, emerging market countries and developing countries have been marginalized by many international organizations, and consolidating and strengthening the BRICS mechanism is crucial for the development of countries in the "global South". For developing countries, BRICS cooperation is a natural stage for seeking to break free from the current unfair international order. The BRICS mechanism advocates multilateralism, attaches great importance to the voices of emerging market countries and developing countries, and promotes win-win cooperation. The expansion of the BRICS will promote the construction of a more just and reasonable international order, allowing cooperation to replace conflict, industrial development to replace financial speculation, the principle of mutual respect to replace unilateral interventionism, economic integration to replace traditional and backward sanctions, and technology transfer to replace technology blockade.
Niu Wangdao stated that Argentina has officially applied to join the BRICS New Development Bank and the BRICS Cooperation Mechanism. The BRICS mechanism is extremely crucial for Argentina, as the BRICS countries include Argentina's major trading partners. In addition, BRICS countries actively engage in infrastructure investment and improving infrastructure levels is a key factor in expanding Argentina's production and export capacity. The BRICS countries have formed genuine multi-level cooperation, among which scientific and technological innovation cooperation is crucial, which is one of the core driving forces for achieving common development. The economic complementarity among member countries and the common demand for changes in the international order are the fundamental factors for Argentina's application to join the BRICS mechanism.

Niu Wangdao highly appreciates China's positive role in promoting BRICS cooperation and expanding its membership.Health cooperation with BRICS countries is crucial for the entire Latin America, especially for Argentina, which has received assistance from China, Russia, and India at critical moments. China is also focusing on promoting the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, and its global development initiative has attracted much attention. It is conducive to promoting common development in the world and benefiting people of all countries. China is one of the main drivers of BRICS expansion, actively expanding "BRICS+" cooperation. China has expressed support for Argentina's accession to the BRICS mechanism. The expansion of BRICS membership will further enhance the global influence of BRICS countries and play a crucial role in promoting global economic development.
