Abstract

After the most recent BRICS Summit in South Africa in August, there was a new addition to the BRICS membership. However, Indonesia was not included in the list. Yet on previous occasions at the BRICS-Africa Outreach and BRICS Plus Dialogue sessions, Indonesian President Joko Widodo emphasised the importance of developing countries coming together to fight for their rights. Indonesia is often considered a leading candidate to join BRICS. Indonesia's potential for BRICS is clear. Indonesia is the world's fourth largest population, a fast-growing economy with the potential to become one of the world's top five economies by 2045, and a major force in Southeast Asia. The idea of Indonesia joining BRICS has emerged more than a decade ago, and Indonesia itself has participated in several BRICS meetings. Over the past two years, the concept of Indonesia officially joining BRICS has been revived with support from some parties such as China. However, Indonesian President Jokowi informed the public that the Indonesian government had decided not to send a letter of interest as it did not want to rush into membership. According to Jokowi, the government needs more time to study the advantages and disadvantages of BRICS membership, especially in the economic field, and wants to consult with ASEAN partners. Indonesia's decision to join BRICS will be a strategic decision that is more political and geopolitical in nature.
