In the face of new global challenges, BRICS countries should be in line with the world trend, build consensus, strengthen confidence and make efforts to tackle global changes, according to China’s state councilor and foreign minister Wang Yi, who recently said all parties should seek strength through unity and further demonstrate openness and inclusiveness.

He made the remarks while chairing a meeting of the BRICS Ministers of Foreign Affairs via videoconference.

Noting that the meeting is an important platform for BRICS political and security cooperation, Wang said BRICS countries should seek common security together, work for common development, strive to build a firewall for human health, and advocate a global governance philosophy of extensive consultation, joint contribution and shared benefits.

All parties should further strengthen strategic communication and coordination and political mutual trust, and deepen mutually beneficial cooperation in various fields, he was quoted as saying by an official news agency.

South African minister of international relations and cooperation Naledi Pandor, Brazilian foreign minister Carlos Franca, Russian foreign minister Sergey Lavrov and Indian external affairs minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar attended the meeting.

All sides agreed to fully implement the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, better benefit the people of developing countries and promote the building of a community with a shared future for mankind.

The ministers supported advancing the process of BRICS expansion and indicated that further discussions would be held on this issue. They also exchanged views on matters related to Ukraine and Afghanistan.
