BRICS expansion to be beneficial for Africa’s development

“I think a lot of work is still in progress to establish the rules and procedures and refine maybe the objectives on that,” Leonardo Santos Simao added

 BRICS’ further expansion will be beneficial for African countries, said United Nations Secretary General’s Special Representative for West Africa and the Sahel Leonardo Santos Simao said in an interview.

“What is my hope is that BRICS can be an additional source of the financing development for Africa, in particular for West Africa and the Sahel. And if this is the case, I think the developments taking place are welcome indeed,” he said when asked if BRICS enlargement could have a positive influence on the situation in the region.

“I think a lot of work is still in progress to establish the rules and procedures and refine maybe the objectives on that,” he added.
