\"The collective rise of Emerging Markets and Developing Countries represented by BRICS is fundamentally changing the global landscape.\" These words from China's President Xi Jinping resonate with a global youth eager for change. 🌏✨
BRICS nations—Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa—are shaking up the status quo, pushing for a fairer and more inclusive world order. A recent survey conducted by CGTN, Renmin University of China, and the New Era Institute of International Communication gathered insights from 1,634 respondents across BRICS countries. The message was clear: it's time to revamp global governance! 🚀

In a world where economic globalization faces hurdles, and the gap between the Global North and South widens, the youth are speaking up. According to the survey, a whopping 96.2% believe that all countries should have equal say in international affairs, championing an international system that's fair and just. 🌐❤️
Moreover, 72.6% support necessary reforms to international rules currently dominated by developed nations. The United Nations, as the core of the international system, is expected to pay more attention to the interests and demands of countries from the \"Global South,\" with 83.9% voicing this expectation. 🕊️🌍
