Let the cake of cooperation become bigger and bigger, and the force of progress will be more concentrated and stronger
The tide has not fallen for thousands of years, and the wind will rise and sail again.
After a lapse of five years, the hour hand of the BRICS cooperation once again points to the "China Moment".
President Xi Jinping will preside over the 14th BRICS Leaders' Meeting and the High-level Dialogue on Global Development in Beijing, attend the opening ceremony of the BRICS Business Forum and deliver a keynote speech.
As the BRICS presidency in 2022, China will join hands with BRICS partners to draw a new blueprint for high-quality development and make a stronger voice of solidarity and cooperation.
Due to the combined effects of a century of changes and the epidemic of the century, the factors of instability, uncertainty and insecurity in the international situation have become increasingly prominent.
The changes in the world, the times, and the history are unfolding in an unprecedented way, posing challenges to mankind that must be taken seriously.
The BRICS countries are emerging markets and major developing countries with global influence, and the world expects more "BRICS solutions".
"As a positive, progressive and constructive force in the international community, the BRICS countries should strengthen their beliefs, face the storm, promote peaceful development with practical actions, maintain fairness and justice, advocate democracy and freedom, and inject stability and positive energy into international relations in a period of turbulent transformation. ." President Xi Jinping's video speech at the opening ceremony of the BRICS Foreign Ministers' Meeting not long ago made the world feel once again the profound determination and responsibility of a major country, and realized the value of the times and broad prospects for BRICS cooperation.
Advance in the logic of historical progress and develop in the trend of the times.
Facing various risks and challenges, and facing the historical trend of world multi-polarization and democratization of international relations, it is more important than ever to strengthen solidarity and cooperation between emerging markets and developing countries.
Guided by the BRICS spirit of openness, inclusiveness, and win-win cooperation, BRICS cooperation is committed to drawing concentric circles of common development, making the cake of cooperation bigger and bigger, making the forces of progress stronger and stronger, and building a community with a shared future for mankind. better vision to make a greater contribution.

"The unity and cooperation of the BRICS countries conform to the trend of the development of human society and the evolution of the international pattern. It seems accidental, but it is a historical inevitability. The development and growth of the BRICS countries has driven the speed, breadth and depth of the adjustment of the international pattern. It will fundamentally change the political and economic map of the world." Looking at the development process of the "BRICS", President Xi Jinping profoundly explained its dialectical relationship.
In historical development, inevitability exists in contingency, manifests itself through a large number of contingency, and creates a path for itself.
From an investment concept in the research report, it has developed into the first non-Western country as the main body and an important force that cannot be ignored on the international stage. The BRICS countries have gone through an extraordinary 16-year journey, but only a short period in the long history of mankind. In an instant, a new chapter of development and cooperation was written.
Since the beginning of the 21st century, emerging markets and developing countries as a whole have shown a stronger rising momentum and development potential, and their weight in the global political and economic landscape has grown.
According to statistics, from 2000 to 2019, the average annual economic growth rate of emerging markets and developing countries was about 3.65 percentage points higher than that of developed countries, and their proportion in the world economy increased to more than 40%.
As one of the "leaders", the BRICS countries account for about 25% of the world's total economic volume and 18% of the world's total trade volume, and have contributed 50% of the world's economic growth in recent years.
“Emerging market countries are better than us in many ways – from their desire to succeed, to their unwavering confidence in their future. We must now ask ourselves what emerging market countries can teach us, not just what we can teach Give them something." The thinking of French political scientist Dominique Moisey represents more and more insightful people's understanding of the evolution of the times.
From the perspective of the process of world development and the evolution of the international pattern, we can better understand the historical inevitability of the BRICS countries crossing mountains and seas and uniting themselves for self-improvement.
The BRICS countries are at a similar stage of development, undertake similar historical missions and share the same development goals.
The establishment and development of the BRICS cooperation mechanism reflects the trend of historical progress and the direction of human development.
Flufilo Nanswell, a professor at Durban University of Technology in South Africa, said: "The BRICS mechanism brings a brand new option to the world, which is dialogue and cooperation."
Judging from the historical process of the five countries' respective and common development, we can better understand the endogenous driving force of the BRICS countries to walk hand in hand and pragmatically cooperate.
Guided by the leaders' meeting, to establish an all-round and multi-level cooperation structure featuring "three-wheel drive" of economy, trade, finance, political security, and people-to-people and cultural exchanges, the BRICS countries are actively exploring the establishment of a new relationship of partnership and non-alliance, striving for mutual respect and common progress. The new path of mutual benefit and win-win cooperation has become a vivid interpretation of building a new type of international relations.
Since 2013, President Xi Jinping has delivered a series of important speeches at BRICS leaders' meetings and other occasions, contributing Chinese wisdom, providing Chinese solutions, and announcing practical measures on "where are the BRICS going?" Inject strong confidence.
The status and role of the BRICS countries in multilateral mechanisms such as the United Nations, the G20, the World Bank, and the International Monetary Fund have been continuously strengthened, which has effectively enhanced the international voice of emerging markets and developing countries.
Jim O'Neill, who proposed the concept of "BRICS", said that due to the important driving role of China's economic development, the development of the BRICS countries has greatly exceeded his expectations.
Forge ahead and achieve fruitful results.
BRICS cooperation not only brings benefits to the people of the five countries, but the world is also different because of BRICS cooperation.

Candy from Russia, pine nuts from Brazil, red wine from South Africa, spices from India... Recently, the "Buy in BRICS" activity was held simultaneously offline and online in Xiamen Cross-border E-commerce Industrial Park.
The representatives of the BRICS countries shouted: "Many popular products are about to be sold out."
The hot scene highlights the vigorous pulse of BRICS economic and trade cooperation.
In 2021, the total import and export volume of BRICS countries' goods will reach US$8,549.808 billion, a year-on-year increase of 33.4%.
In the same year, the total bilateral trade between China and the BRICS countries reached US$490.42 billion, a year-on-year increase of 39.2%, higher than the overall growth rate of China's foreign trade in the same period.
Pragmatic cooperation is the foundation of BRICS cooperation.
A total of 85 projects have been approved, with a total value of more than 31 billion US dollars, focusing on the field of sustainable development... Opening the list of projects of the New Development Bank, the pragmatic background is clear at a glance.
From the "rich road" for transporting grain and other products in the state of Maranhão, Brazil, to the "green electricity" of the solar power generation base in Karnataka, India, from helping to upgrade the "Modern Port" of the Durban container terminal in South Africa, to the protective development Nine "historic towns" including Veliko Rostov, Russia... BRICS countries have received more financial support for their infrastructure and development projects.
A few days ago, the New Development Bank announced that it will provide 30 billion US dollars in financial support for member states in the next five years, 40% of which will be used to slow the process of climate warming.
President Troyo's words represent the voice of the BRICS countries: "Our drive is to support growth and development and improve the lives of people in our member countries."
Emphasizing innovation makes BRICS cooperation full of impetus.
The BRICS New Industrial Revolution Partnership is an important starting point for the BRICS economic cooperation in the next stage.
China actively leads and promotes the new industrial revolution partnership, focuses on digital industrialization and industrial digitalization cooperation, and creates opportunities for the BRICS countries to achieve leapfrog development.
It has been less than a year since the opening of the Xiamen Innovation Base of the BRICS New Industrial Revolution Partnership. Policy coordination, personnel training, and project development are in an orderly manner and have a gratifying momentum.
South African President Ramaphosa commented: "This partnership will turn the blueprint of the second 'Golden Decade' into reality through industrialization, innovation, inclusive growth, and investment cooperation."
In May of this year, the BRICS Space Cooperation Joint Committee was established, officially starting the data sharing and exchange of the BRICS remote sensing satellite constellation.
Since then, existing satellites of the BRICS countries have been connected to the vast starry sky.
The "BRIC constellation" shines brightly, and jointly respond to global climate change and major disasters.
Aerospace, information and communication, environment, new energy, biotechnology... BRICS cooperation fields continue to expand and deepen, and the quality of BRICS is further improved.
Focusing on development makes BRICS cooperation more resilient.
"Development is the master key to solving all problems. Whether it is to eliminate the impact of the epidemic, return to normal life, calm conflicts and turmoil, and resolve humanitarian crises, it is fundamentally dependent on people-centered development." We will plan ahead and make decisions at key points, pointing out the direction for the BRICS countries to strengthen their confidence in development and explore new growth drivers and development paths.
The COVID-19 pandemic has severely impacted the recovery of the world economy. The development gap between the North and the South has widened, the momentum of development cooperation has weakened, and the cause of global development has suffered serious setbacks.
Face the difficulties and solve the dilemma.
On September 21, 2021, President Xi Jinping first proposed a global development initiative at the United Nations General Assembly, calling on the international community to accelerate the implementation of the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, jointly promote global development to a new stage of balance, coordination and inclusiveness, and jointly build a community of shared future for global development. .
The initiative advocates adhering to development priority, people-centeredness, inclusiveness and inclusiveness, innovation-driven, harmonious coexistence between man and nature, and action orientation, which has aroused wide response from the international community.
More than 100 countries and many international organizations including the United Nations have expressed active support, and more than 50 countries have joined the "Group of Friends of the Global Development Initiative".
The rise of the BRICS countries benefits from economic globalization.
It is the consensus and responsibility of the BRICS countries to promote the building of an open world economy.
"Only openness can make progress, and only tolerance can make progress lasting." "We must work together to guide the direction of economic globalization and provide more advanced concepts and public goods"... President Xi Jinping has repeatedly emphasized that the BRICS countries should play a responsible role The role of a major power, actively advocate the global governance concept of extensive consultation, joint contribution and shared benefits, and promote the reform of the global economic governance system.
The unity of knowledge and action, China is a staunch activist.
The "Belt and Road" opens up avenues for extensive consultation, joint construction and shared benefits, and connects magnificent economic corridors.
The China-Europe train roared through, and the "steel camel team" became the "cargo king" of the Eurasian continent.
From Boao to Davos, from the China International Import Expo to the Service Trade Fair, China uses a shorter negative list, a better business environment, and a stronger institutional opening to continuously expand the convergence point with the world's interests, including the golden Countries around the world, including the Brick countries, share development opportunities.
"BRICS cooperation will help lead the world back to the development agenda." said Herman Laurel, founder of the BRICS Policy Research Association in the Philippines, said that the BRICS countries will be the leading role in helping the world economic recovery in the post-epidemic era and practicing real an indispensable force for multilateralism.

The world today is neither peaceful nor peaceful, and the theme of peace and development is facing severe challenges.
"BRICS countries should strengthen political mutual trust and security cooperation, communicate and coordinate closely on major international and regional issues, accommodate each other's core interests and major concerns, respect each other's sovereignty, security, and development interests, oppose hegemonism and power politics, and resist the Cold War mentality and Group confrontation and jointly build a community of security for mankind." President Xi Jinping's video speech at the opening ceremony of the BRICS Foreign Ministers' Meeting once again emphasized the historical responsibility of "BRICS countries are builders of the international security order".
With the in-depth development of economic globalization, the connotation and extension of security will become more abundant, the time, space and field will become wider, and the linkage, transnationality and diversity will become more prominent. Security thinking and security cooperation need to be constantly innovated.
Under the strategic guidance of the leaders of the BRICS countries, the BRICS countries have held a meeting of high-level representatives on security affairs and formal meetings of foreign ministers, established a regular consultation mechanism for their permanent representatives in New York, Geneva and Vienna, and held meetings such as the anti-terrorism working group and the cybersecurity working group to discuss Issues of general concern shall be listed in a timely manner, and positions shall be coordinated.
In response to international and regional hotspots, the BRICS countries have mediated and contributed plans from various parties.
Promote the political settlement of the Syrian issue, support the peaceful reconstruction of Afghanistan, and promote the Middle East peace process... BRICS adheres to a just stance, speaks objectively and impartially, and strengthens the power of peace.
After the Ukraine crisis, China pushed the BRICS coordinators' meeting to clarify the common proposition: support multilateralism, abide by the purposes and principles of the UN Charter, respect the legitimate security concerns of all countries, and support the continuous dialogue and negotiation between Russia and Ukraine in order to seek a comprehensive solution to the Ukraine issue.
British political commentator Carlos Martinez praised China's constructive role in resolving the Ukraine crisis as "admirable".
"International affairs should be discussed by everyone, not by one country or a few countries." The BRICS countries carry forward the independent diplomatic tradition, oppose the old security concept of Western hegemonism and power politics, and call for adherence to multilateralism ideology and safeguarding international solidarity.
In recent years, the BRICS countries have actively promoted major global agendas under the framework of the United Nations, promoted "big multilateral" with "small multilateral", and launched a series of new initiatives, new These measures have continuously injected new momentum into global security governance.
The effect of "the BRICS countries speak out and the world will listen" is increasingly evident.
The international situation is complex and the world urgently needs the guidance of the light of thought leading to lasting peace and universal security.
President Xi Jinping clearly put forward a global security initiative in April this year, and solemnly declared "six insistences": adhere to the concept of common, comprehensive, cooperative and sustainable security, adhere to respect for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of all countries, adhere to the purposes and principles of the UN Charter, adhere to the importance of All countries have reasonable security concerns, insist on peacefully resolving differences and disputes between countries through dialogue and consultation, and maintain overall security in traditional and non-traditional areas.
Take advantage of the historical trend and go the right way.
Today, when countries are interdependent, the Cold War mentality and the confrontation between camps seriously threaten world peace and security, and will only create new contradictions and risks.
The Global Security Initiative not only focuses on solving the real problems of human security, but also seeks a long-term solution to world peace, providing new ideas for further improving global security governance.
Having experienced hardships and turmoil, I cherish peace and tranquility more.
On the road of pursuing modernization, the BRICS countries are well aware that development and security are mutually reinforcing and inseparable, and that sustainable development is always inseparable from a peaceful and stable international environment.
"The global security initiative is of great significance, and we should attach importance to the collective security of the international community and work together to address common challenges. The BRICS mechanism must be strengthened and deepened."

The long river of history is ups and downs, and the big waves wash the sand before seeing the real gold.
The most serious infectious disease pandemic in a century is a severe challenge to the development of various countries and global public health governance, and it is also an in-depth tempering of the BRICS spirit.
At the most difficult moment in China's fight against the epidemic, Russia, the rotating presidency of the BRICS countries in 2020, issued a presidential statement expressing support for China's anti-epidemic efforts on behalf of the BRICS countries.
As the epidemic continues to spread around the world, China has done its best to lend a helping hand to the BRICS countries, sharing information, exchanging experiences, dispatching medical experts, providing medical supplies, and promoting vaccine cooperation.
The "BRICS stories" of watching and helping each other and overcoming the difficulties together have brought the people closer: the Russian plane delivered 23 tons of "hard-core" medical protective materials to Wuhan at the first time.
Brazilian Chinese teacher Ru Chenxi wrote "My Story with Wuhan": "The face of the Chinese people I see is unity. I hope Chinese friends can feel love in their words and deeds around the world." Wuhan Leishenshan Hospital The design experts of the company have remotely helped South Africa to improve the reconstruction plan of the anti-epidemic hospital.
Petersburg, Russia urgently activated a makeshift hospital, and the Chinese side vacated a venue in the Russia-China Business Park without a word.
When the epidemic in India was urgent, all walks of life in China took action to raise supplies.
After Selana, a small town in the Brazilian state of Sao Paulo, joined the China-Brazil vaccine cooperation trial plan, the number of new cases and deaths plummeted, becoming a "model city for anti-epidemic"... The friendship between people and countries, two-way travel is the best worth treasuring.
In November 2020, BRICS leaders held their first "cloud meeting".
"We must adhere to the supremacy of the people and life, mobilize all resources, and make every effort to protect people's lives, safety and health." President Xi Jinping proposed to the BRICS countries, proposing a package of cooperation plans to fight the epidemic, including actively considering giving assistance to those in need. The BRICS countries provide vaccines, promote the construction of BRICS vaccine research and development centers, and advocate the five countries to hold traditional medicine seminars.
In less than two years, these measures have been officially implemented, constantly building a "BRICS line of defense" against the epidemic.
In March this year, the BRICS Vaccine R&D Center was officially launched, which has been called "a practical example of international cooperation in the scientific field".
For an emerging multilateral cooperation mechanism, a sudden crisis is also an activation of the ability to quickly mobilize.
In April 2020, the New Development Bank launched an emergency loan assistance mechanism to provide BRICS countries with a special loan of US$10 billion to fight the epidemic.
Inspired by the joint fight against the epidemic, the BRICS countries have also established an early warning mechanism to prevent large-scale infectious disease risks, and strengthened emergency material reserves and support capabilities.
Some media commented: "BRICS countries have launched emergency reserve measures, which shows from one aspect that BRICS cooperation dares to innovate and work hard."
In the face of the epidemic, should we adhere to scientific rationality or create political differences, should we strengthen international cooperation or seek decoupling and isolation, should we promote multilateral coordination or pursue unilateralism?
All parties need to hand over their answers to history.
"We must promote the replacement of differences with unity, eliminate prejudice with rationality, sweep away the 'political virus', and gather the greatest synergy of all countries to fight the epidemic together." President Xi Jinping's words revealed the choice of the BRICS countries.
The BRICS voice strives to convey an objective, rational and united signal, supports the World Health Organization to play a leading role, and opposes the politicization of the epidemic and the labeling of the virus.
The epidemic has been delayed, and the "immunity gap" has become prominent.
Adhering to the concept of a community of human health and health, China was the first to declare vaccines as global public goods, the first to support intellectual property exemptions for COVID-19 vaccines, and the first to carry out joint production with developing countries. It is the country that provides the most vaccines to the outside world.
So far, China has provided more than 2.2 billion doses of COVID-19 vaccines to more than 120 countries and international organizations.
Not long ago, President Xi Jinping said in a phone call with President Ramaphosa that China is willing to discuss vaccine production cooperation with South Africa and support South Africa and African countries in their fight against the epidemic.
South Africa's "Star" published an article commenting: "China's support for South Africa to produce vaccines will fundamentally change the rules of the game, consolidate mutually beneficial relations, and promote African self-reliance, which is an important opportunity to strengthen South-South cooperation."
In an interconnected, globalized world, all can be safe only when everyone is safe.
In the turbulent waves of a global crisis, countries are riding on a ship with a shared destiny.
Strengthening confidence and helping each other is the only correct way to defeat the epidemic.

"How can the BRICS mechanism last forever?" International institutions and professionals have given rich and varied answers from different perspectives.
Among them, there is a high degree of consensus that the BRICS cooperation has always had an open vision and a pioneering attitude.
Not alone, but together with beauty.
The significance of BRICS cooperation has long gone beyond the scope of the five countries.
Since its establishment, the BRICS mechanism has been closely linked with the fate of the vast number of emerging markets and developing countries.
Starting from the Durban meeting in 2013, the leaders of the BRICS countries have successively held dialogues with the leaders of the member states of Africa, South America, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization and the Eurasian Economic Union, and the member states of the "Bay of Bengal Multi-Sectoral Economic and Technical Cooperation Initiative".
On the basis of strengthening dialogues with regional and neighboring countries, during the Xiamen Summit in 2017, China proposed the "BRICS+" cooperation model for the first time, and invited representative emerging markets and developing countries from around the world to attend the dialogue.
President Xi Jinping emphasized the importance of "BRICS+": "We should expand the radiation and benefit scope of BRICS cooperation, promote the 'BRICS+' cooperation model, build an open and diverse development partner network, and allow more emerging market countries and Developing countries have participated in the cause of solidarity and cooperation, mutual benefit and win-win results." BRICS cooperation has since opened a new realm.
"BRICS+" allows more countries to get on the fast train and free ride of development.
The BRICS countries and the vast number of developing countries share a wide range of interests in the fields of trade and investment, currency and finance, connectivity, sustainable development, innovation and industrial cooperation. The comparative advantages in technology and human resources will promote the recovery and development of the global economy.
Hu Yishan, chief consultant of the Malaysian Pacific Research Center, believes: "Through the 'BRICS+' cooperation, China drives other emerging market countries with similar development goals, and uses platforms such as South-South cooperation to achieve common development."
"BRICS+" actively implements the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
At the Dialogue between Emerging Market Countries and Developing Countries, China announced to provide other developing countries with US$500 million in aid and 40,000 training places in China under the framework of South-South cooperation, fulfilling the solemn goal of promoting common development and prosperity of developing countries promise.
In the face of the impact of the new crown pneumonia epidemic on the economy and people's livelihood of various countries, the BRICS countries advocate "one-handed epidemic prevention and one-handed economic stabilization", support the "Debt Service Suspension Initiative for the Poorest Countries", and encourage multilateral institutions such as the World Bank to take joint actions to support the Debt Suspension Initiative. .
"BRICS+" promotes the development of the global governance system in a more just and reasonable direction.
The BRICS countries will strengthen communication and coordination with other emerging markets and developing countries on major international and regional issues, and use the "big stage" of win-win cooperation to resist the "small circle" of the Cold War mentality. The global development map will be more comprehensive and balanced, and world peace The foundation is more solid and stable.
Paul Robert, a researcher at the BRICS Policy Research Center in Brazil, said: "Through years of practical cooperation, the BRICS countries have increasingly expanded the influence of genuine multilateralism on the international stage, providing a platform for developing countries to cooperate and develop."
"No matter how China develops in the future, it will always belong to a developing country. It will firmly support the development of the vast number of developing countries, and will continue to be committed to developing a close partnership with everyone." This is China's unswerving choice as a major developing country. China advocates the fundamental driving force for expanding "BRICS+" cooperation.
The New Development Bank has achieved its first expansion.
This year, China proposed to start the BRICS expansion process, and the BRICS foreign ministers' meeting held not long ago reached an agreement to support the expansion process.
China has taken solid steps to promote solidarity and cooperation between emerging markets and developing countries.
"BRIC+", a creative expression, contains infinite potential.
"+" is not only the increase of members, but also the deepening of cooperation models and the development of cooperation prospects; "+" is not only a concept, a mechanism, but also a pattern. It is based on the BRICS countries and benefits all countries in the world.
The "circle of friends" of the BRICS will become larger and larger, and the "Road of BRICS" will become wider and wider.

Rotating earth, full of sails, colorful colors.
In 2017, the BRICS leaders' meeting in Xiamen has a profound meaning: it not only symbolizes the unity and cooperation of the five countries to help each other, ride the wind and waves, and sail towards a bright future, but also reflects the important role that the BRICS countries play in world political and economic affairs.
This year, the BRICS leaders' meeting logo continues the style of the Xiamen Summit logo, demonstrating China's consistent actions to promote BRICS cooperation.

It can be seen that the BRICS countries emphasize global coordination and solve global problems through collective action." Professor Maslov, Russian Higher School of Economics If so evaluate.
"The Xiamen meeting has ignited enthusiasm", "it is a transformative force", "China is giving the BRICS more colors"... The world appreciates China's sincerity and confidence in promoting BRICS cooperation.
Do not forget the original intention and move forward bravely.
Since the opening of the BRICS "China Year" in 2022, China has led the BRICS cooperation, focusing on building results in five areas: practicing multilateralism, fighting the epidemic with solidarity, promoting economic recovery, promoting efficient and practical cooperation, and accelerating the implementation of the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

The BRICS "China Year" highlights key issues and promotes "three-wheel drive", which has won wide acclaim from the international community.
- Deeply cultivate a key point.
To help achieve the goals of eradicating poverty and zero hunger, China has carried out a series of cooperation on poverty reduction and food security to promote the agricultural and rural development of the five countries.
The new crown pneumonia epidemic has swallowed up the achievements of global poverty reduction in the past 10 years. The human development index has dropped for the first time in 30 years. More than 100 million people have been added to the world in poverty, and nearly 800 million people are living in hunger.
China's plan has made a tangible contribution to maintaining global food security.
According to Chang Qide, the resident coordinator of the United Nations Development System in China, the BRICS countries are important producers and consumers of agricultural products in the world. By implementing relevant agricultural cooperation action plans, the potential of the agricultural sector of member countries can be released and the problems of hunger and malnutrition can be solved. ,The eradication of poverty.
- Focus on sustainable development.
China has launched the BRICS Initiative on Trade, Investment and Sustainable Development, held a series of activities such as the Digital Economy Dialogue and the Green Investment Forum, and launched a number of flagship joint research projects around scientific and technological innovation.
Avijit Banerjee, Dean of the Institute of Chinese Studies at the Indian International University, appreciated that the BRICS countries have provided an inclusive platform for discussing global issues, "helping us find a win-win solution".
- Intensify people-to-people and cultural exchanges.
The five BRICS countries have nurtured their own splendid civilizations, which complement each other.
"Strengthening the people-to-people and cultural exchanges between our five countries and letting the concept of partnership take root in the hearts of the people is a work worthy of long-term investment. If this work is done well, it will keep the BRICS cooperation alive forever." people's hearts.
Since the Xiamen meeting, the BRICS people-to-people and cultural exchanges have accelerated significantly.
Cultural festivals, film festivals, sports events and other colorful activities have brought people closer and closer; exchanges at various levels such as parliament, political parties, women, youth, media, and local governments have deepened mutual understanding.
Not long ago, all parties signed the Action Plan for the Implementation of the BRICS Intergovernmental Agreement on Cultural Cooperation (2022-2026), watering the tree of friendship and cooperation and consolidating the public opinion foundation for BRICS cooperation.
"China can be regarded as the 'anchor of BRICS cooperation'", "China's plan leads BRICS cooperation to openness and innovation"... Entering the second "Golden Decade", China's imprint in the process of BRICS cooperation has become even brighter.

In March 2013, Durban, South Africa, the fifth BRICS summit was held here.
This is Xi Jinping's first appearance on the multilateral diplomatic stage since he took office as president.
Since then, the BRICS stage has also become an important window for the international community to observe the relationship between China and the world entering a new era.
"I think that realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation is the greatest dream of the Chinese nation in modern times." On November 29, 2012, General Secretary Xi Jinping delivered an important speech while visiting the "Road to Rejuvenation" exhibition, deeply explaining the "Chinese Dream" .
The realization of the "Chinese Dream" of national prosperity, national rejuvenation and people's happiness has attracted international public attention once it was put forward.
More than three months later, on the eve of his state visits to Russia, Tanzania, South Africa, and the Republic of Congo and his attendance at the Fifth BRICS Summit, President Xi Jinping gave a joint interview to the BRICS media in the Great Hall of the People.
"China's economic strength already ranks second in the world. What changes will this bring to China's handling of relations with the outside world? You recently explained the 'Chinese dream' of realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. What is China's 'world dream'? Facing the reporter's question, President Xi Jinping spoke confidently and cordially: "The Chinese are patriotic, and at the same time we have an international vision and mind. With the continuous enhancement of national strength, China will do what it can." To undertake more international responsibilities and obligations within the country, and to make greater contributions to the noble cause of human peace and development."
The air is emptied into the mountains, and the mainstay of the world is this peak.
It was also during this trip to the Moscow Institute of International Relations that President Xi Jinping expounded the concept of "community with a shared future" for the first time on international occasions: "In this world, countries are interconnected and interdependent at an unprecedented level, and human beings live in the same global village. Living in the same time and space where history and reality meet, it has become more and more a community with a shared future where you have me and I have you." Since then, China's "world dream" of promoting the building of a community with a shared future for mankind has become increasingly popular among the people.
For more than 9 years, from bilateral to multilateral, from BRICS countries to the United Nations, President Xi Jinping has systematically expounded the construction of a community with a shared future for mankind from a global and global perspective, from a philosophical and historical perspective, with profound historical thinking and broad sentiments. Thought, a profound answer to the question of the times "what happened to the world, what should we do".
"I believe that a China with better quality, more inclusive and sustainable development, a China that advocates peace, development, cooperation and win-win in international relations, and a China that actively participates in BRICS cooperation will surely Continue to make greater contributions to maintaining world peace and promoting common development."
"Based on national conditions and looking at the world, the Chinese people not only draw wisdom from the long-standing Chinese civilization, but also draw on the strengths of Eastern and Western countries. made an important contribution.”
