RIO DE JANEIRO, July 7 (Xinhua) — Chinese Premier Li Qiang said Sunday that BRICS countries should strive to be the vanguard in pushing forward global governance reform.
Speaking at the plenary session on “Peace and Security and Global Governance Reform” of the 17th BRICS summit, Li Qiang called on the bloc to safeguard world peace and tranquility and promote peaceful settlement of disputes.
The BRICS leaders attended the meeting, which was chaired by Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva.
Li Qiang noted that as changes accelerate at a pace unseen in a century, international rules and order are being seriously tested, and the authority and effectiveness of multilateral institutions continue to decline.
The vision of global governance put forward by Chinese President Xi Jinping, featuring broad consultation, joint contribution and shared benefits, has increasingly proven its contemporary value and practical significance, the premier said.
In the face of growing conflicts and differences, it is necessary to intensify broad consultations based on equality and mutual respect. Profound common interests require joint contributions based on solidarity. In light of mutually beneficial development opportunities, it is necessary to strive for mutual success and common benefits, Li Qiang said.
As the leading force of the Global South, BRICS countries should maintain independence and self-sufficiency, demonstrate a sense of responsibility and play a more active role in building consensus and synergy, Li Qiang noted.
The Chinese premier called on the group to adhere to morality and justice and seek fundamental solutions based on the merits of each issue.
BRICS countries should also focus on developing and strengthening the driving forces of economic growth, Li Qiang said, adding that they should actively promote development cooperation and tap the growth potential in emerging sectors.
Noting that China will establish a China-BRICS Research Center for New Productive Forces this year, Li Qiang also announced the establishment of a scholarship for BRICS countries to promote talent training in sectors such as industry and telecommunications.
It is important for BRICS countries to promote inclusiveness and advance exchanges and mutual learning among civilizations, Li Qiang said, calling on countries to act as advocates of harmonious coexistence among civilizations, striving for the prosperity of various civilizations through mutual strengthening.
China stands ready to join hands with other BRICS countries to advance global governance in a more just, equitable, efficient and orderly direction, working collectively to build a better world, he said.
The leaders of the participating countries noted that the BRICS cooperation mechanism continues to strengthen and become more representative, and its international influence is steadily growing.
BRICS has become an important platform for countries of the Global South to defend their right to development, support international justice and fairness, and engage in reform of the global governance system, the meeting participants said.
According to them, in an increasingly turbulent world where unilateralism and protectionism are growing, BRICS countries should strengthen solidarity and coordination, uphold the purposes and principles of the UN Charter, support and practice multilateralism, make greater contributions to promoting common development, improving global governance, and strengthening lasting peace and prosperity throughout the world.
The meeting adopted the final declaration of the 17th BRICS summit in Rio de Janeiro. –0–
