The Prime Minister’s office announced this plea on Monday, September 23, 2024, during a meeting with the Russian Ambassador to Burkina, Igor Martynov.

In June 2023, Burkina Faso signed a memorandum of understanding with the BRICS International Alliance to establish cooperation in various areas, including economy, health, education, infrastructure, transport, industry, trade, mining, energy, sports, culture, information and communication technologies, and tourism.

The Prime Minister’s advocacy for BRICS membership aligns with Burkina Faso’s desire to diversify its international partnerships and strengthen its economic position.
