Iran was among six countries in the Middle East, South America, and Africa invited to join the BRICS bloc of developing countries on Thursday, during a summit in Johannesburg.
Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Argentina, Egypt, and Ethiopia are the other five set to join the group, which currently consists of Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa, next year. All six countries invited had expressed an interest in joining."BRICS has embarked on a new chapter in its effort to build a world that is fair, a world that is just, a world that is also inclusive and prosperous," South African President Cyril Ramaphosa said.
South Africa is a signatory of the Rome Statute that created the ICC and would’ve been obligated to arrest him. While Moscow has disregarded the arrest warrant, Putin hasn't traveled to any country that is a member of the ICC since the indictment was handed down in March.
