In the field of "Effectively Promoting the Transformation of Global Governance System" (Mutual Benefit, Win Win Unity and Cooperation) | China | Global
Entering the office of the BRICS Policy Research Center in Brazil, Chinese elements are eye-catching: decorative paintings of Peking Opera characters on the wall, calendars printed with Chinese traditional paintings, and Chinese books on the bookshelf... Anna Garcia, the director of the center, introduced that these gifts witness the friendly exchanges between the research center and relevant Chinese institutions.
The BRICS cooperation mechanism is a key research area of the center. Garcia said, "As an important emerging market and developing country, the enormous economic development potential of the BRICS countries has always been of great concern, and their international influence is constantly increasing, effectively promoting the transformation of the global governance system."
Garcia believes that the BRICS countries have become an important platform for emerging market countries and developing countries to unite and strengthen themselves, which is one of the important reasons why more and more countries hope to join. Expanding the membership of the BRICS will help promote the development of the international order towards a more just and reasonable direction. She emphasized that the BRICS countries adhere to equal dialogue and pursue common development. In the future, they will continue to strengthen cooperation in science and technology, culture and education, and play a more important role in jointly addressing global challenges such as climate change.
The continuous expansion of the New Development Bank's business has successfully completed the first batch of expansion, representing emerging market countries such as the BRICS and developing countries as an indispensable force in the international financial system. Garcia stated that the New Development Bank respects the development needs of BRICS countries, serves developing countries, especially provides funding for clean energy, low-carbon economy and other related projects, and contributes to global sustainable development.
When it comes to Pakistan China relations, Garcia stated that during President Lula's visit to China in April this year, the two countries issued a joint statement on deepening comprehensive strategic partnership and signed multiple bilateral cooperation documents in areas such as trade and investment, digital economy, technological innovation, information and communication, poverty reduction, quarantine, and aerospace, indicating that Pakistan and China plan the future of bilateral relations from a strategic perspective. Garcia is particularly concerned about the progress of cooperation between the two sides in the field of technology, believing that this is an important opportunity that Brazil needs to seize to achieve "re industrialization". "China is developing rapidly in industrial manufacturing and leading the world in many areas of technological innovation. Brazil needs to continue to deepen practical cooperation with China in industrial investment, scientific research and innovation, and other areas."
In recent years, the energy industry, including clean energy, has been one of the main areas of investment for Chinese companies in Brazil. Garcia said, "We hope that both sides can further strengthen cooperation in the field of clean energy and help Brazil's energy transformation and development."
