Brazilian foreign minister Mauro Vieira today (April 7) said that Brasilia considered Bangladesh's keen interest to become BRICS member "very strongly and positively" as Dhaka shared same principles and positions with the BRICS member states. 

"Bangladesh is the country very close to watch, we shared principles, shared positions ... we will consider it (Inclusion in BRICS) from our side, very strongly and positively," he said. 

Vieira who is visiting Bangladesh was speaking at a joint media briefing at state guest house Jamuna in the capital.
 
Last year, Bangladesh requested to join the BRICS alliance, comprised of Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa, that formally established in 2009 to establish economic and political equilibrium among powerful global nations.
