On Thursday, Syrian Finance Minister Kanaan Yaghi told press that Damascus has plans to apply for membership in both the BRICS+ and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization. “Syria intends to apply for membership” in both organizations, Yaghi said, reports The Cradle.
Speaking of the BRICS+ in 2013, Syrian President Assad called the grouping “a just force that seeks to bring peace, security, and cooperation among countries, far from the hegemony and injustice imposed on our peoples and nations for decades.”
