Which of the BRICS countries initiated it first

BRICS because it quotes the initials of Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa. Since the word is similar to the English word brick, it is called "BRICS". The BRICS countries occupy the total area of the world's territory and the world's total population.

It is estimated that in 2021, the total economic output of the five countries will account for about the world, and the total will account for the world. In 2022, the voting rights of the five countries in the World Bank were, and their total share in the International Monetary Organization was. In 2001, Jim O'Neill, chief economist of Goldman Sachs in the United States, first proposed the concept of "BRIC countries", specifically referring to the world's emerging markets.

In 2006, the foreign ministers of Brazil, Russia, India and China met for the first time on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly, marking the beginning of BRICS cooperation. In June 2009, the leaders of the BRICS countries held their first meeting in Yekaterinburg, Russia, to promote BRICS cooperation to the summit level. In 2011, South Africa unofficially joined the BRICS, and the BRICS countries were expanded to five countries, and the leaders of the BRICS countries have held 14 meetings and 9 informal meetings.

The symbol of the BRICS countries is a circle surrounded by strips in the representative colors of the national flags of the five countries, symbolizing the cooperation and unity of the "BRICS". In December 2017, the BRICS countries were selected as one of the "Top Ten Popular Slogans in China in 2017". From August 22 to August 24, 2023, the 15th BRICS Summit was held in Johannesburg, South Africa.

Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa.

In 2001, Goldman Sachs first proposed the concept of BRICS, using the initials of the English names of four emerging market countries: Brazil, Russia, India and China. Because the spelling and pronunciation of "bric" is similar to the English word "brick", China** and scholars have translated it as BRICS.

In 2009, the leaders of the BRICS countries met for the first time in Yekaterinburg, Russia, and have held annual meetings since then. The establishment of the BRICS summit mechanism has provided political guidance and a strong impetus for cooperation and development among BRICS countries.
