00:00Thank you for joining us.
00:07In 2023, Saudi Arabia was invited to join BRICS.
00:11But until now, Saudi Arabia has not made a decision.
00:15This decision was postponed because Saudi Arabia was in agreement with the United States.
00:25In 2023, Saudi Arabia was invited to join BRICS.
00:28But until now, Saudi Arabia has not made a decision.
00:31This decision was postponed because Saudi Arabia was in agreement with the United States.
00:37The kingdom seems reluctant to join BRICS because it still needs support from the United States and other Western countries
00:44in order to realize the Vision Economy 2030 vision.
00:47Dependence on the United States in terms of economy and politics makes Saudi Arabia careful in making decisions.
00:55If it breaks off relations with the United States, this country has the potential to face a damaging economic stagnation.
01:01After postponing the BRICS membership, Saudi Arabia plans to invest US$600 billion
01:07or around 9,775 trillion in the United States in the next four years.
01:13The son of the mayor, Mohammed bin Salman, told US President Donald Trump
01:18that the kingdom wants to expand trade with the investment.
01:23According to Mohammed bin Salman, this investment will create economic prosperity
01:27that has never happened before for Saudi Arabia and the United States.
01:31However, there is no explanation as to which sector will receive this investment,
01:36whether the public or private sector, and how the funds will be allocated.
01:42On the other hand, BRICS continues to monitor Saudi Arabia's investment steps
01:45remembering the alliance hoping this country will join their economic group.
01:53What do you think of the BRICS alliance?
01:58It's interesting, even though Indonesia has been recognized as a member of BRICS,
02:04but Saudi Arabia has not yet decided whether to join or not.
02:08Because if we talk about the United States and BRICS,
02:13this is quite contrary.
02:15And it was also said by US President Donald Trump
02:19that if BRICS issues special funds,
02:22there will be actions that will not be comfortable for BRICS members
02:31if they sell goods to the United States
02:35or impose high import tariffs.
02:40So it's a rather dilemmatic relationship
02:42considering the relationship between Saudi Arabia and the United States is still very close.
02:47Saudi Arabia has received significant military support from the United States,
02:52and the pressure of diplomacy is likely to be a threat.
02:57We'll see what the dynamics are,
02:59and what kind of response Saudi Arabia will deliver to BRICS.
