Currently, the world is entering a new period of turbulence and transformation, undergoing major adjustments, divisions, and reorganizations, with an increase in uncertain, unstable, and unpredictable factors. The BRICS cooperation is at a crucial stage of carrying forward the past and opening up the future. How can BRICS cooperation take it to the next level?
From deepening economic, trade, and financial cooperation to supporting economic development, to expanding political and security cooperation and maintaining peace and tranquility; From strengthening cultural exchanges, promoting mutual learning among civilizations, to adhering to fairness and justice, and improving global governance, a series of proposals are in line with the core principles of the Global Development Initiative, Global Security Initiative, and Global Civilization Initiative. The aim is to promote the deepening and implementation of BRICS cooperation, lead the BRICS mechanism to achieve stability and progress, and further play the role of BRICS and make BRICS contributions to building a better world together.
Development is an inalienable right of all countries, not a patent of a few. Faced with various difficulties and challenges, BRICS countries need to be peers on the path of development and revitalization, oppose decoupling and economic coercion, focus on practical cooperation, especially in areas such as digital economy, green development, and supply chain, promote exchanges and exchanges in the fields of economy, trade, finance, and finance, and continuously achieve common development.
Security is a prerequisite for development. International security is inseparable, sacrificing the interests of other countries and seeking absolute security for oneself will ultimately harm oneself. The BRICS countries should adhere to the overall direction of peaceful development, consolidate their strategic partnership, make good use of mechanisms such as the BRICS Foreign Ministers Meeting and the High Representative Meeting on Security Affairs, support each other on issues related to their core interests, strengthen coordination on major international and regional issues, and cool down hot issues.
Colorful and diverse is the essence of human civilization, and human history will not end in one civilization or one system. The BRICS countries should promote the spirit of embracing all rivers, advocate for peaceful coexistence and harmonious coexistence among different civilizations, respect the modernization path chosen by each country, make good use of various mechanisms to deepen cultural exchanges, and enhance people to people communication.
Strengthening global governance is the correct choice for the international community to share development opportunities and respond to global challenges. The BRICS countries should practice true multilateralism, maintain the international system with the United Nations at its core, support and strengthen the multilateral trading system with the World Trade Organization at its core, oppose the formation of "small circles" and "small groups", and lead the BRICS cooperation mechanism to play a more important role in the global governance system, issuing a louder BRICS voice.
On the morning of August 24th local time, the 15th meeting of BRICS leaders held a special press conference, announcing the invitation to Saudi Arabia, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates, Argentina, Iran, and Ethiopia to officially become members of the BRICS family. This historic expansion reflects the determination of BRICS countries to unite and cooperate with developing countries, and once again proves the strong attraction and appeal of the BRICS mechanism. This expansion is also a new starting point for BRICS cooperation, which will inject new vitality into the BRICS cooperation mechanism. Working together and moving forward hand in hand, there is great potential for BRICS cooperation. The future of BRICS countries is promising, and the noble cause of human peace and development will surely go steadily and far.
