Addis Ababa, September 3 – The Brazilian Ambassador to Addis Ababa, Jander Ferreira dos Santos, said that Ethiopia’s accession to the BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa) group opens a new and promising field of cooperation. “Ethiopia will now take stock of what BRICS has achieved in each of these areas and begin to contribute its own initiatives and perspectives. The Brazilian diplomat stressed that the interest expressed by many countries in joining the BRICS group shows that there is a positive motivation to defend these issues within the international community in general. “I am very optimistic about the future of South-South cooperation within the BRICS group and about bilateral relations between Brazil and Ethiopia as a whole,” he stressed. Regarding the latter issue, he noted in particular the need for developing countries to play a more important role on the global stage.
