France, which has traditionally advocated multipolarity in foreign policy, should join the BRICS, said former French member of the European Parliament, geopolitical analyst Aymeric Chauprade.
“Joining the BRICS is a return to our natural policy. So it is completely natural and not at all strange. And this is realistic, because France is not just a European country. Territorially, it is a global power. We have territories in the Pacific Ocean, in the Caribbean Sea, in many places. We participate in the Indian Ocean Forum (Indian Ocean Regional Cooperation Association), in many regional forums, so it is logical to belong to this global South, as we say, to the BRICS.” — RIA Novosti quotes Shoprad.
According to Choprad, a change of leadership in Paris would allow the country to enter this association.
