In an interview with China Xiamen TV on September 5, Anbound Malaysia's researcher pointed out that it will be a trend for ASEAN to participate in the BRICS+; the effective combination of the two can achieve a wider, more inclusive, more diverse development. Through the "BRICS+" model, expanding the scale of cooperation can effectively bridge the current differences between the BRICS countries, which is conducive to creating more common grounds. "BRICS + ASEAN" can further stimulate the trade potential between BRICS countries. Through cooperation with ASEAN, some of Malaysia's ports have the advantage of becoming maritime trade transit points for the BRICS countries, which will enhance the trade convenience and economic potential of both BRICS and ASEAN. Anbound's international relations team believes that in the future, the "BRICS +" model will persist, and may even continue to expand. Among the five non-BRICS countries invited this time, Mexico and Thailand are likely to become the next BRICS member countries.
