Xi Jinping pointed out that at present, with the superimposed influence of the century’s changes and the century’s epidemic situation, the factors of instability, uncertainty and insecurity in the international situation are becoming increasingly prominent. However, the theme of the times of peace and development has not changed, the people’s pursuit of a better life has not changed, and the historical mission of the international community to work together in the same boat and win-win cooperation has not changed. As a positive, upward and constructive force of the international community, BRICs countries should strengthen their faith, face the storm, take practical actions to promote peaceful development, safeguard fairness and justice, advocate democracy and freedom, and inject stability and positive energy into international relations in a period of turbulence and change.

In order to promote peace and security in the world, I recently put forward the global security initiative. BRICs countries should strengthen political mutual trust and security cooperation, closely communicate and coordinate on major international and regional issues, take care of each other’s core interests and major concerns, respect each other’s sovereignty, security and development interests, oppose hegemonism and power politics, resist cold war thinking and group confrontation, and jointly build a community of human security.
Xi Jinping stressed that development is the common task of emerging market countries and developing countries. In the face of current risks and challenges, it is more important than ever to strengthen unity and cooperation between emerging market countries and developing countries. The five countries should carry out dialogue and exchanges with more emerging market countries and developing countries, enhance understanding and mutual trust, tighten the ties of cooperation, deepen the integration of interests, make the cake of cooperation bigger and bigger, make the forces of progress stronger and stronger, and make greater contributions to the realization of the beautiful vision of building a community with a shared future for mankind.
