According to Russia's Kommersant newspaper on December 24, the mayor of the Central African Republic, Sylvie Baipo Temon, said that China and Africa hope to become a member of the BRICS mechanism. She believes that Central Africa has the potential to join the BRICS, but at the moment the country has not yet met all the necessary criteria.
According to the report, Ms. Baibo said in an interview: "Of course, Central Africa wants to become a member of the BRICS. Now we have to keep our feet on the ground and be realistic. Because there are also certain standards. Does Central Africa meet these criteria?Not today. ”
The report also said that Bai Bo pointed out that Central Africa now needs to concentrate on developing the economic sector.
"We should be a country that can be reborn from the ashes, a country that is respected, a country that has the potential to develop," she said. ”
The BRICS countries are made up of Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa. According to the results of the BRICS summit held in Johannesburg in August, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Argentina, Egypt and Ethiopia will join the BRICS cooperation mechanism from January 1, 2024.
