This is another expansion of the BRICS family after South Africa officially became the fifth member of the BRICS Cooperation Mechanism more than a decade ago.

"Expanding the membership" is one of the highly anticipated topics at the BRICS Leaders' Meeting. Early in the morning on the 24th, journalists from all over the world flocked to the Sugido Convention Center in Johannesburg, waiting for the results of the expansion to be announced.

The BRICS cooperation mechanism emerged in the trend of the collective rise of emerging market countries and developing countries. Over the past 17 years, the BRICS cooperation mechanism has responded to the historical trend, demonstrated abundant vitality, and increasingly become a constructive force in promoting world economic growth, improving global governance, and promoting democratization of international relations.

Adhering to the spirit of openness, inclusiveness, and win-win cooperation, the vitality and influence of the BRICS cooperation mechanism are becoming stronger and stronger. Many countries hope to open the door of the BRICS and participate in BRICS cooperation. It is reported that, including the six countries invited to join the BRICS family, more than 40 countries have expressed their desire to join to varying degrees, and more than 20 countries have submitted formal applications.

This fully reflects the common aspiration of developing countries to promote unity and self-improvement, defend multilateralism, uphold international fairness and justice, and improve global governance in the context of the accelerated evolution of the world's unprecedented great changes in a century.

China has always been an active promoter of BRICS expansion. This round of expansion process was initiated during China's presidency of the BRICS countries last year.

"In recent years, many countries have expressed their desire to join the BRICS cooperation mechanism. Introducing fresh blood will bring new vitality to BRICS cooperation, and also enhance the representativeness and influence of BRICS countries. This year, we have had in-depth discussions on the issue of expansion in different occasions, and we should promote this process to allow like-minded partners to join the BRICS family as soon as possible."

Through the joint efforts of all parties, the decision to expand the membership of the BRICS Leaders Meeting is a historic event. The new members are all countries with significant influence, and we believe that they will inject new vitality into the BRICS cooperation mechanism, further strengthen the power of world peace and development, and have a significant impact on the world.

During the BRICS Leaders Meeting, South Africa held a dialogue meeting between BRICS countries and leaders of African countries, other emerging markets, and developing countries under the "BRICS+" model. Dozens of leaders or representatives from various regions around the world, as well as heads of international and regional organizations such as the Secretary General of the United Nations and the President of the New Development Bank, attended.

The grand occasion of the Johannesburg "BRICS+" Leaders' Dialogue highlights that China's advocacy of "BRICS+" conforms to the aspirations of people from all countries for peace, development, and cooperation, and is thriving.

In today's world, unilateralism, hegemonism, camp confrontation, and zero sum game are surging against the current, which has aroused high vigilance from the international community. Faced with the ever-changing and intertwined world, China firmly stands on the right side of history, adheres to the principle of "the great road, the world is for the public", and promotes the construction of a community with a shared future for mankind.
