BRICS Summit to showcase rising voice of Global South
The 17th BRICS Summit will be held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil from Sunday to Monday local time. As the rotating chair of the bloc, Brazil is hosting the summit under the banner of "Strengthening Global South Cooperation for More Inclusive and Sustainable Governance."
Chinese Premier Li Qiang arrived in Rio de Janeiro on Saturday to attend the summit and met with Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva. Li stressed that China is willing to work in unity with developing countries to promote an equal and orderly multipolar world and a universally beneficial and inclusive economic globalization, and provide more certainty and stability for the world.
As this will be the first gathering since the group's expansion of new members and partner countries representing over half the world's population and 40 percent of its economic output, experts from around the world view the BRICS summit as a landmark event, which reflects a broader and more inclusive representation. It is poised to strengthen cohesion and cooperation among emerging markets, and powerfully showcase the rising influence of the "Global South" on the world stage, they noted.
Premier Li said on Saturday during meeting with President Lula that China is willing to work with Brazil to leverage each other's complementary advantages and expand cooperation in such areas as digital economy, green economy, sci-tech innovation and aerospace, according to the Xinhua News Agency.
Noting that China-Brazil relations are in their best shape ever, Li said both sides are working together to build a China-Brazil community with a shared future for a more just world and a more sustainable planet.
During Lula's visit to China in May, the two heads of state reached important consensus on pushing to build a China-Brazil community with a shared future and upholding multilateralism, Li said, adding that China is willing to work with Brazil to further consolidate and deepen bilateral cooperation in trade, finance and infrastructure development under the framework of high-quality Belt and Road cooperation.
