Madagascar could become a partner nation in BRICS, according to a statement by the country’s interim President, Col. Michael Randrianirinal. He added that the issue was discussed during his visit to South Africa, where he held talks with South Africa’s President Cyril Ramaphosa over the past weekend.
“The South African president has accepted our request to make Madagascar one of the BRICS partner countries,” he told the TVM television channel. He added that he will attend the BRICS summit in India scheduled for June.
