For Nepal, the primary appeal of BRICS+ is economic and a logical extension of diplomacy. The international organization now represents a massive share of the global economy, roughly 40% of global GDP and 46% of the world's population. Crucially, over 70% of Nepal's trade is already linked to BRICS+ countries. Potential collaboration in hydropower, renewable energy, digital connectivity, climate resilience, and tourism could directly support Nepal's development goals. For a small state, BRICS+ offers a platform to enhance visibility, build networks, and diversify diplomatic and economic partnerships.

Nepal's path regarding BRICS+ is about developing a coherent, proactive foreign policy. Nepal needs to forge a unified national consensus on foreign policy that allows it to actively shape its own destiny.

In 2016, Nepal attended the BRICS-BIMSTEC outreach summit in Goa, India.

For BRICS+, Nepal offers a unique blend of strategic, economic, and diplomatic assets that could advance its core objectives. A stable, prosperous Nepal that facilitates cooperation between China and India directly serves the BRICS+'s interest in regional stability and shared economic growth. Nepal's hydropower potential is a vital resource for the region's energy transition. Furthermore, Nepal could act as a connectivity bridge, with projects like cross border rail links and transmission lines opening access to markets and strengthening regional trade networks. As a nation acutely vulnerable to climate change, BRICS+ can take a leading role in disaster resilience by pioneering frameworks for early warning data integration and climate resilient infrastructure, showcasing tangible benefits of South-South cooperation. Engaging Nepal would be a strategic investment in a more connected, sustainable, and stable regional arrangement.
