On the evening of June 23, President Xi Jinping presided over the 14th BRICS Leaders’ Meeting in Beijing by video and delivered an important speech. In an interview with a reporter from Xinhua News Agency, people from many countries said that President Xi Jinping’s important speech had a profound insight into the general trend, drawn a new blueprint for the development of BRICS cooperation, and injected positive, stable and constructive forces into the world.
“As long as we work together, we will succeed”
“President Xi Jinping clarified the changes in the external environment and various challenges faced by the BRICS countries, pointed out the key for the BRICS countries to adapt to new challenges and seize new opportunities, and put forward an overall policy to guide the development path of the BRICS countries in the future, which will lead the BRICS countries. The Brick Mechanism keeps pace with the times, continues to contribute to the prosperity and stability of the world, and promotes the building of a better future for mankind,” said Brazilian economist Ronnie Lins.
Lins said that President Xi Jinping put forward a series of “very forward-looking and feasible” proposals for BRICS cooperation, among which “persistence in pioneering and innovation to stimulate cooperation potential and vitality” impressed him deeply. Making innovation a key growth engine for countries can help boost productivity, overcome the “middle-income trap” and open up new opportunities in new markets, Lins said.
According to Kulkarni, former chairman of the Observer Research Foundation in Mumbai, India, President Xi Jinping’s beautiful blueprint for BRICS cooperation represents the common vision of the BRICS countries. “There is an old saying in India: ‘May your thoughts resonate, may your emotions resonate, may your goals be the same, and your actions may be the same.’ As long as the (BRICS) countries work together, they will succeed.”
People from many countries have noticed that, as the BRICS presidency this year, China is promoting the BRICS countries to continuously move towards building a high-quality partnership. “As the largest economy among the BRICS countries, China has pushed BRICS cooperation to a new level,” said Juan Negri, head of political science and international studies at the University of Ditria in Argentina.
“BRICS is not a closed club, nor is it an exclusive ‘small circle’, but a big family that helps each other and good partners for win-win cooperation.” “Under the new situation, the BRICS countries should open their doors for development and open their arms. Promote cooperation”… President Xi Jinping once once more clarified the open and inclusive concept of the BRICS cooperation mechanism.
Romina Sudak, a member of the China-Argentina Research Group at the University of Rosario in Argentina, said that the “BRICS+” model promotes South-South cooperation and promotes solidarity and self-improvement between emerging market countries and developing countries.
“Cooperative development is the key to world stability”
Lewis Endishu, a policy analyst at the African Policy Institute of Kenya, said that in his speech, President Xi Jinping once once more emphasized the global development initiative, promoted the building of a global development community, and put forward a “roadmap” for solving long-term development problems and enhancing the well-being of all mankind.
In some developing countries, poverty and instability are intertwined, forming a vicious circle that hinders long-term development, Endishu said. For the African region, China’s experience in poverty reduction is particularly important, providing valuable experience for Africa to get rid of poverty; many projects of China-Africa cooperation involve important infrastructure and digital technology cooperation, which truly benefits people’s lives and contributes to regional stability. and development into impetus. Cooperative development is the key to achieving world stability.
A master student at Anhui Agricultural University, Padai Kefi Rodrigue, is from Benin and has been studying breeding and reproduction techniques in China for four years. He was deeply touched by the “joint response to challenges in poverty reduction, agriculture, energy, logistics and other fields” emphasized in President Xi Jinping’s speech. “China and Benin have established in-depth cooperation mechanisms in agriculture, scientific research and other fields, and are also sharing valuable experience in poverty reduction practices with countries around the world, including Benin. I will definitely be able to apply the advanced breeding and reproduction techniques I learned in China in the future. In more fields, it will benefit the development of agriculture and animal husbandry in Benin. Driven by the BRICS and other multilateral cooperation mechanisms, China shares agricultural science and technology development opportunities with other countries around the world, which also brings infinite potential to my development.”
The president of Thailand-Thailand-China Cultural and Economic Association and former Deputy Prime Minister Phochin Phonglajun deeply agreed with the benefits of cooperation and development. “China’s economic growth is good for Thailand, ASEAN and even the whole world. As China becomes a key link in the global industrial chain, the prices of goods and services have become more equitable. People in developing countries can pay more money than the United States, Europe and Japan. Low-cost access to goods and services.”
“Only when everyone feels safe is real safety”
In his speech, President Xi Jinping pointed out the severe challenges faced by world peace and security, expounded the global security initiative once more, and called for the practice of genuine multilateralism, upholding justice, opposing hegemony, maintaining fairness, opposing bullying, maintaining unity, and opposing division.
“President Xi Jinping’s speech was very timely and thoughtful,” said Razak, president of Bangladesh’s Development Research and Policy Integration group. “We are seeing the proliferation of the regional arms race, which is a matter of deep concern.” The economist, who specializes in international trade, development and public policy, argues that geopolitical tensions might affect trade and growth prospects for many developing countries in the region trying to achieve further prosperity.
Bambang Suryono, chairman of the Asian Innovation Research Center, an Indonesian think tank, believes that the Global Security Initiative aims to achieve common security and sustainable security, and is a major contribution to maintaining global security. The Western security concept pursues its own absolute security and puts its own security above others. This one-sided pursuit of its own security is one of the root causes of world conflicts. The global security initiative proposed by China pursues common security. Only when everyone feels safe can real security be achieved.
Suryono said that the Global Security Initiative emphasizes the security concept of peace and cooperation, which is conducive to the establishment of an international order of respect, equality and mutual trust, and is of great significance to the realization of real and lasting peace and long-term development of mankind.
Hanat Baisek, president of the Kazakhstan-China Trade Promotion Association, believes that the global security initiative “injects stability and positive energy into the world, provides Chinese wisdom for human society to cope with common challenges, and achieves a fairer, more sustainable, Safer development points the way.” (Note-taking writer: Du Jing; participating reporters: Su Liang, Bian Zhuodan, Jiang Lei, Wang Zhongyi, Bai Lin, Song Yu, Liu Chuntao, Yu Qianliang, Zheng Shibo, Zhang Jiye, He Xiyue, Wang Lili, Zhu Yubo, Wu Hao, Chen Chang, Ji Ze , Huang He, Guo Jun, Shi Zhongyu, Hu Guan, Yao Bing, Lu Tianran, Liu Kai, Yan Jie)
