Algerian President confirms country's interest in joining BRICS group

Algiers: Algerian President Abdelmadjid Tebboune confirmed that his country largely meets the conditions of joining the BRICS group.

"Algeria has almost all conditions for admission to BRICS and it is strongly interested in joining this alliance," the President said in a press statement.

Joining BRICS has economic and political power and will enable Algeria to avoid participation in "bipolar conflicts," Tebboune added.

The BRICS group includes the countries with the fastest growth rates in the world, which are China, Russia, Brazil, India, and South Africa.
