Xi Jinping Calls for BRICS to Lead Innovation at Summit
During the 18th BRICS Summit held in New Delhi, Chinese President Xi Jinping called on BRICS countries to firmly stand on the right side of history and take a pioneering role in innovation-driven development. This year marks the 20th anniversary of BRICS cooperation, which has evolved into a significant platform for collaboration among emerging markets and developing countries.
Xi highlighted that BRICS countries now account for nearly half of the world’s population, approximately 30 percent of the global economy, and one-fifth of global trade. He noted the mechanism's growth and vitality over the past two decades, emphasizing self-reliance and unity among member nations.
Analysts pointed out that BRICS has become a broader platform for promoting shared growth and enhancing the representation of the Global South in international organizations. Xi stated that BRICS aims to strengthen dialogue and cooperation rather than replace existing global institutions, ushering in a new stage of high-quality development.
