Ethiopia has submitted a request to join the BRICS mechanism, said by the foreign ministry on Thursday.

“Ethiopia is a founding member of numerous multinational organizations, like the United Nations, the African Union and the Non-Aligned Movement,” Meles Alem, spokesperson for the ministry, told reporters.
