Jointly Promoting World Peace and Development
The week starting on June 20 was great for BRICS, the main platform for cooperation between five major emerging economies, namely, Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa. During that week, China hosted a series of BRICS events including the 2022 BRICS Business Forum, the 14th BRICS Summit and the High-Level Dialogue on Global Development.
BRICS countries represent more than 40 percent of world’s population and over 20 percent of global economic output. Over the past 16 years since the group’s inception, their cooperation has demonstrated resilience and vitality by embracing a spirit of openness, inclusiveness and mutual benefit, thereby cementing a new international alternative representing the correct path forward.
