- Story Text: Thai Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha and Tajik President Imomali Rakhmon arrived at Xiamen Gaoqi International Airport on Monday (September 4) to discuss the idea of an expanded "BRICS Plus", expanding the bloc to new members.
China has invited leaders of five countries - Mexico, Guinea, Thailand, Egypt and Tajikistan - to take part in a dialogue with members of Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa. It will give host China a chance to position itself as a bulwark of globalisation in the face of U.S. President Donald Trump's "America First" agenda.
