MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Saudi Arabia is in talks on joining the BRICS’ New Development Bank as the ninth member, media reports.
"In the Middle East, we attach great importance to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and are currently engaged in a qualified dialogue with them," a representative of the New Development Bank told media in a statement.
The newspaper said that the addition of Saudi Arabia would reinforce ties between the BRICS bank and the world’s second-largest oil producer.
