First, we must adhere to solidarity and solidarity to maintain world peace and tranquility. Some countries are trying to expand military alliances to seek absolute security, coercing other countries to choose sides to create camp confrontation, and ignoring the rights and interests of other countries to pursue self-reliance. If this dangerous momentum is allowed to develop, the world will be more volatile. The BRICS countries should support each other on issues concerning each other’s core interests, practice genuine multilateralism, uphold justice, oppose hegemony, uphold fairness, oppose bullying, maintain unity, and oppose division. China is willing to work with BRICS partners to promote the implementation of the global security initiative, adhere to the common, comprehensive, cooperative and sustainable security concept, and walk out of a new type of security strategy of dialogue rather than confrontation, partnership rather than alliance, and win-win rather than zero-sum. Road, inject stability and positive energy into the world.
Second, we must adhere to cooperative development and jointly address risks and challenges. The impact of the new crown pneumonia epidemic and the crisis in Ukraine is intertwined and superimposed, casting a shadow on the development of various countries, with emerging market countries and developing countries bearing the brunt. Crises can bring disorder and change, depending on how you deal with them. BRICS countries should promote the interconnection of industrial and supply chains, and jointly address challenges in poverty reduction, agriculture, energy, logistics and other fields. It is necessary to support the New Development Bank to become bigger and stronger, promote the improvement of the emergency reserve arrangement mechanism, and build a financial safety net and firewall. It is necessary to expand BRICS cooperation in cross-border payment and credit rating, and improve the level of trade, investment and financing facilitation. China is willing to work with BRICS partners to push forward the global development initiative, push forward the UN’s 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, build a global development community, and help achieve a stronger, greener and healthier global development.

Third, we must persist in pioneering and innovating to stimulate cooperation potential and vitality. Attempts to maintain their hegemonic position by engaging in technological monopoly, blockade, and barriers to interfere with the innovation and development of other countries are doomed to fail. It is necessary to promote and improve global science and technology governance, so that scientific and technological achievements can be enjoyed by more people. Accelerate the building of the BRICS partnership for the new industrial revolution, reach a digital economy partnership framework, and release a cooperation initiative on digital transformation of the manufacturing industry, opening up a new route for the five countries to strengthen the alignment of industrial policies. Focusing on the needs of talents in the digital age, establish a vocational education alliance and build a talent pool for strengthening innovation and entrepreneurship cooperation.
Fourth, we must adhere to openness and inclusiveness, and gather collective wisdom and strength. The BRICS countries are not closed clubs, nor are they exclusive “small circles”, but big families that help each other and good partners for win-win cooperation. Over the past five years, we have carried out a variety of “BRICS+” activities in the fields of vaccine research and development, scientific and technological innovation, people-to-people and cultural exchanges, sustainable development, etc., and built a new cooperation platform for the vast number of emerging market countries and developing countries to become emerging markets. It is a model for countries and developing countries to carry out South-South cooperation and achieve unity and self-improvement. Under the new situation, the BRICS countries should open their doors to seek development and open their arms to promote cooperation. The process of BRICS membership expansion should be promoted, so that like-minded partners can join the BRICS family as soon as possible, bring new vitality to BRICS cooperation, and enhance the representation and influence of BRICS countries.
Xi Jinping stressed that, as representatives of emerging market countries and developing countries, it is vital to the world that we make the right choice and take responsible actions at a critical juncture in historical development. Let us unite as one, gather strength, move forward bravely, promote the building of a community with a shared future for mankind, and jointly create a better future for mankind!
