(A Closer Look at China) Walking with "Aspirational People", Xi Jinping's "BRICS Voice" clarifies the way of cooperation

　　China News Agency, Beijing, June 21 (Guo Chaokai and Xie Yanbing) Following the Xiamen meeting in 2017, the hour hand of BRICS cooperation once again points to the "China Moment".

From June 22 to 24, Chinese 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.

　　"Let the BRICS circle of friends become bigger and bigger and the network of partners become wider and wider." Since attending the BRICS leaders' meeting in 2013, Xi Jinping has repeatedly issued a "BRICS voice" on BRICS occasions to clarify the importance of BRICS cooperation. It will leave China's mark in the process of BRICS cooperation.

　　"Those who are like-minded, don't take mountains and seas as far away"

　　Turning back the clock to March 2013, Durban, South Africa, the fifth BRICS summit was held in the Rainbow State. This was Xi Jinping's first appearance on the international multilateral stage as the top leader of China.

　　"Those who share the same aspirations, do not take mountains and seas as far." In the face of the leaders of the BRICS countries from four continents in the world separated by mountains and seas, Xi Jinping quoted an ancient Chinese saying to clarify China's "Collaboration Concept".

　　Since then, "cooperation" has been the key word in Xi Jinping's "BRICS voice".

　　"The movement of the Dapeng is not the light of a feather; the speed of the Qiji is not the strength of a single foot." In 2014 in Fortaleza, a seaport in Brazil, Xi Jinping expressed his confidence in the cooperation of the BRICS countries and advocated the "five countries" Think in one place with your heart, and use your energy in one place.”

　　"One arrow is easy to break, but ten arrows are hard to break." "The BRICS countries do not talk about one word, and everyone will discuss everything." In 2017 in "Lu Island" Xiamen, Xi Jinping encouraged the five countries to make persistent efforts to open the second BRICS cooperation" Golden Decade".

　　In the face of the raging new crown epidemic in 2020, Xi Jinping once again emphasized that the BRICS countries should work together. He used a boat as a metaphor to point out, "We are all on the same boat. When the wind is high and the waves are urgent, we must be more precise and master the direction. Good rhythm, unity and cooperation, ride the wind and waves, move steadily and far, and sail towards a better tomorrow."

　　"The right way, the same good for thousands of miles, solid in glue and paint, solid in gold and stone." Xi Jinping once summed up the reasons for the rapid development of BRICS cooperation.

He pointed out that the key is to find the right way to cooperate.

The five countries need to uphold the spirit of openness, inclusiveness and win-win cooperation, and persevere in promoting economic, political and cultural cooperation.

　　"BRICS cooperation is not alone"

　　"BRICS cooperation is not alone, but is committed to common development with other countries in the world." On the eve of the sixth BRICS leaders' meeting in July 2014, Xi Jinping expounded on BRICS cooperation in a joint interview with Latin American media. world meaning.

　　In fact, as the representatives of emerging market economies and developing countries, the influence of BRICS cooperation has gone beyond the scope of the five countries, and has become a constructive force to promote world economic growth, improve global governance, and promote the democratization of international relations.

　　Adding "China's power" to BRICS cooperation, and continuously injecting stability and positive energy into the world by leading BRICS cooperation, Xi Jinping has proposed and explained many times to this end——

　　In the face of the world economy gradually coming out of the trough, Xi Jinping pointed out in Fortaleza, Brazil in 2014, that the consensus and decision on increasing the representation and voice of developing countries should be implemented, to ensure that countries have equal opportunities and rules in international economic cooperation. Equality, equal rights.

　　When de-globalization, conservatism, and unilateralism are rampant, in Xiamen in 2017, Xi Jinping advocated the promotion of the "BRICS+" cooperation model, invited representatives of developing countries to participate in the "BRICS+" leaders' dialogue, and further expanded the BRICS "Circle of friends".

　　"One flower is not spring, and a lone geese cannot make a trip." When talking with emerging market countries and developing countries, Xi Jinping even quoted an old saying to encourage South-South cooperation in a wider area and in a wider area, resulting in "one plus one is greater than two". positive effect.

　　"Without the participation of our five countries, many major and urgent global issues cannot be effectively resolved." As Xi Jinping said, at present, the BRICS countries continue to speak together on issues related to international peace and development, and jointly propose solutions. The "concept of economics" has developed into an important force that cannot be ignored in the international arena.

　　"BRICS are not mediocre chatrooms"

　　Why did the BRICS cooperation bear fruitful results?

The outside world may get the answer from Xi Jinping's speech at the opening ceremony of the BRICS Business Forum in 2017 - "BRICS countries are not mediocre chat rooms, but action teams that combine knowledge and action."

　　Action is the "main tone" of BRICS cooperation and a concept that Xi Jinping has repeatedly emphasized.

　　Set up the BRICS Economic and Technological Cooperation and Exchange Program, propose to hold the BRICS Sustainable Development Big Data Forum, and establish the BRICS New Industrial Revolution Partnership Innovation Base...

　　Whether the world is facing the rampant unilateralism, or the global industrial and supply chains are hit by the epidemic, Xi Jinping has continuously made China's voice on BRICS occasions, inspired the BRICS to respond, and proposed to "make the cooperation cake bigger and more solid".

　　In 2021, in the face of challenges such as the changing world situation, the new crown epidemic, and the difficult and tortuous economic recovery, Xi Jinping also put forward specific proposals around practical problems: promote the BRICS vaccine research and development center to be launched online as soon as possible, and China will make another free donation to developing countries within this year1 100 million doses of vaccines, seminars on governance and administration of BRICS countries and forums on people-to-people exchanges...

　　After 16 years, the "action group" has become a prominent symbol of BRICS cooperation.

A set of data can more intuitively feel the "fineness" of the BRICS: the total economic volume accounts for 23% of the world's total, the trade in goods accounts for 18% of the world's total, and the attraction of foreign investment accounts for 25% of the world's total. Leafy and full of life.

　　At the moment when the century-old changes and the epidemic of the century are superimposed and resonated, the BRICS countries face both opportunities and challenges.

How to improve the quality of cooperation?

How to expand the "Circle of Friends"?

How to polish the "Golden Signboard" of South-South Cooperation?

These are all new issues facing the BRICS countries.

　　"After climbing a mountain, you will find that there are more mountains waiting for you to climb." Xi Jinping once quoted the famous words of former South African President Mandela, hoping that the BRICS countries will reach new peaks.

When the BRICS entered the second half of the second "Golden Decade", looking back now, it has more profound implications.
