Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi has urged BRICS countries to stand firm on principles and become the main force in upholding global fairness and justice amid rising hegemonism. Speaking at a meeting in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, hosted by Brazilian Minister of Foreign Affairs Mauro Vieira, Wang Yi emphasized that the era of multilateralism and collective responsibility is more critical than ever. 🚀
During the discussion among foreign ministers and high-level representatives from BRICS and partner countries, several key measures were highlighted. First, the need to safeguard the central role of the United Nations was stressed. The group is encouraged to practice extensive consultation and foster shared benefits to build a more equitable global governance system.
Second, Wang Yi called for peaceful settlement of disputes. He noted that by advancing a vision of common, comprehensive, cooperative, and sustainable security, BRICS can offer a constructive framework to resolve conflicts, including contributing to the international dialogue on the Ukraine crisis and the recovery plan for Gaza.
Third, the minister advocated for an open and cooperative international environment. He explained that BRICS members should keep their doors wide open, inviting partner countries to integrate and participate fully in their collective efforts.
Adding further momentum to the meeting, Wang Yi mentioned that Chinese President Xi Jinping recently visited the New Development Bank headquarters, demonstrating strong support for the bank and a commitment from China to advance modernization alongside the BRICS family. 🌎
This call for unity and principled action resonates with those who champion multilateralism in a rapidly changing global landscape. As geopolitical tensions and protectionist measures like reciprocal tariffs loom, the message from BRICS is clear: stand together for peace, fairness, and progress.
