According to Xi, there is a great need for BRICS nations to stay true to the founding purposes of the bloc and work with other developing countries to meet challenges and usher in a brighter future. The President said the world is grappling with a brittle recovery of the economy, a growing development gap, and acute challenges such as climate change and digital governance.
Xi also said that China is keen to work with every country, including the BRICS nations, to hasten the implementation of the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, continuously promote the deployment of the Global Development Initiatives, and build a global development community together.
The Chinese President also said that political parties, think tanks, and civil society organizations of BRICS and other developing countries should live up to their responsibilities, enhance exchanges, and bring wisdom and power to realize joint global development.
