"Senegal's motivations are most likely linked to a very unfavorable subregional context, characterized in particular by a very low level of trade, a subregional context also characterized by insecurity and instability," Gningue said.

He emphasized that the BRICS are working towards a "fairer, more balanced, and multipolar world."
