Chinese President Xi Jinping on Tuesday hailed the BRICS cooperation mechanism as “the world’s most important platform for solidarity and cooperation among emerging markets and developing countries”, and called for increased endeavors to create more opportunities for the Global South.
Xi made the statement in meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Kazan, Russia, where the 16th BRICS Summit is underway from Tuesday to Thursday.
“The BRICS cooperation mechanism is the world’s most important platform for solidarity and cooperation among emerging markets and developing countries. It is a pillar for realizing equal and orderly multipolarity of the world and universally beneficial and inclusive economic globalization. The BRICS Summit tomorrow will be the first summit after the latest BRICS expansion and will be of great significance to the advancement of greater BRICS cooperation,” Xi said.
“I look forward to having in-depth discussions with you, Mr. President, and other participating leaders on future development of the BRICS mechanism to build consensus among the parties, send a positive message of solidarity and cooperation, and advance strategic coordination and practical cooperation among BRICS countries in various fields. In doing so, we can secure more new opportunities for the Global South and make even greater contribution to building a community with a shared future for mankind,” he said.
Xi arrived in Kazan earlier on Tuesday for the 16th BRICS Summit.
