Di Er Xiu | BRICS Leaders Meeting - Writing a New Chapter of Global Southern Cooperation and Win Win Win BRICS | Countries | Global
As the 15th meeting of BRICS leaders is about to be held in Johannesburg, South Africa, the world's attention is once again focused on this widely influential multilateral mechanism. On the eve of the meeting, South African Ambassador to China, Siabanga Guellet, emphasized in a recent interview the important role China plays in Africa, especially in South Africa.
Xie Shengwen stated that China Africa cooperation goes far beyond simple trade and investment relations. China has become Africa's largest trading partner, a position that has been maintained for 14 years. In South Africa, China is not only the largest trading partner, but more importantly, it is bringing tangible benefits to the people of South Africa, including employment opportunities and infrastructure construction.
The trade volume between South Africa and China continues to grow, while South Africa also maintains positive trade cooperation relationships with other BRICS countries. Since joining the BRICS in 2010, this trend has become even more apparent.
In terms of infrastructure construction, China's role in Africa cannot be ignored. These projects are not only roads and bridges, but also links connecting African countries and promoting regional integration, creating unprecedented opportunities for cooperation and exchange among African countries.
The BRICS Leaders Meeting provides a platform for member countries to explore cooperation, share resources, and jointly address global challenges. Africa, as an important member of the global Southern family, will have closer cooperation with China and other BRICS countries.
Xie Shengwen said that the BRICS cooperation mechanism not only represents cooperation among the five member countries, but also serves as a model for promoting South South cooperation and achieving common development. I hope that this BRICS summit can bring more opportunities for global cooperation and inject new vitality into building a more just and equitable world order.
