Foreign Minister Ahmed Attaf, who gave an interview to Italy’s official news agency Nova (published on Wednesday), said Algeria wants to enter the BRICS bank capital and has applied to join Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO).
“We have expressed our intention to join the BRICS and look forward to the summit in South Africa in August. We have been informed that decisions on the accession criteria will be taken at that time. We await those decisions,” Attaf told the Italian news agency, adding that “Algeria intends to contribute capital to the New Development BRICS Bank.”
The head of Algerian diplomacy added that “in addition, we have also asked to become an observer country within the framework of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization”.
