MOSCOW, (Sputnik) - Prime Minister of Burkina Faso Apollinaire Joachimson Kyelem de Tambela has announced the country's intention to join BRICS during his meeting with Russian Ambassador to Ouagadougou Igor Martynov, the Burkinabe government said.
On Monday, the Burkinabe prime minister held a meeting with the Russian ambassador in Ouagadougou, during which they discussed bilateral cooperation in the spheres of nuclear energy, economy and politics.
"He [prime minister] also raised his voice for Burkina Faso's entry into BRICS ... in order to 'counter the dominance of the dollar and the euro' and to achieve 'a fairer international trade,'" the government said on social media.
The government added that Moscow would host a bilateral economic forum on Burkina Faso's economic and trade promotion from October 8-11. The forum aims to promote economic cooperation between Burkina Faso and the host country and has been held in Senegal, Benin, France, Canada, South Korea and Austria.
