United Arab Emirates is not a part of BRICS, at least not as far as I last checked. They were invited to join and were scheduled to join early 2024, but at least early this year they still had not joined the organization [0]. I think the Wikipedia article intro for BRICS is incorrect, if you check the members list [1] then you see UAB is not in it.
