Brazilian Scholars: Supporting the BRICS Expansion Process International | Countries | Brazil
The 15th BRICS Leaders' Meeting held in Johannesburg, South Africa from August 22nd to August 24th has attracted international attention. Gao Wenyong, Director of the Brazil China Research Center at the Vargas Foundation in Brazil, recently stated in an interview with Overseas Network that in the current international situation, the importance of the BRICS cooperation mechanism for developing countries is becoming more prominent.
Gao Wenyong stated that there is a crisis of legitimacy and effectiveness in the international order led by Western countries, and Western countries have not made significant efforts to help developing countries. Given this situation, multilateral cooperation such as BRICS cooperation has become more important and meaningful for developing countries. The cooperation mechanism among BRICS countries is beneficial to developing countries, which is exactly what developing countries need. That is why BRICS countries have demonstrated more credibility and legitimacy. "We see that many other countries are applying to join the BRICS, which is of great significance. Personally, I support the BRICS expansion process," said Gao Wenyong.

Gao Wenyong believes that China has made the greatest effort to promote BRICS cooperation. He said that China may now be the only country to provide different types of global initiatives to the world. China's the Belt and Road Initiative, Global Development Initiative, Global Security Initiative, Global Civilization Initiative, etc. have all played a role in this complex world and provided direction for global governance.
Gao Wenyong stated that Brazil can become a reliable partner of China in various fields. The political environment for developing Pakistan China relations is very favorable now, and President Lula has a very positive view on China and its role in the world. The cooperation between Pakistan and China has gained new momentum, and we should take advantage of the opportunity of this BRICS summit to promote the cooperation agenda. The bilateral relationship between Pakistan and China should go beyond economic and trade relations and deepen cooperation in various fields such as technology, health, and tourism.
