[HIGHLIGHTS] Ushakov: Russia respects Argentina’s decision to refuse participation in BRICS

Argentina has refused to join the BRICS group of nations. The decision was made by the Argentinian government, not by the country's president.

Argentina is one of the largest economies in the world, with a population of more than 100 million people. The country's economy is the second largest in the region, after the United States, according to the World Bank's World Economic Forum. The World Bank says the world's economic growth is at an all-time high and that the world is in need of more investment in its infrastructure.
