Argentine Ambassador to China Niuwangdao accepts an exclusive interview with Global Times: BRICS cooperation will not be imposed on any condition

[Global Times reporter Bai Yunyi Xie Wenting] "Here, cooperation will not be attached to any conditions, and they are mutually beneficial." Argentina Ambassador Niuwangdao said in an exclusive interview with the Global Times reporter that the BRICS cooperation mechanism is of profound significance for building a more balanced world order. It is expected that all parties can reach a more formal plan on the issue of BRICS expansion at the fourteenth meeting of the BRICS leaders held this month. He said that if Argentina can join the BRICS, it will also be very conducive to the further development of relations between China and Latin America.

BRICS cooperation mechanism was founded by China, Russia, Brazil and India in 2009. After South Africa joined in 2011, the mechanism has not continued to be included in new members. Earlier this year, Argentine President Fernandez announced that Argentina hopes to join the organization.

According to Niuwangdao, Fernandez will also be invited to participate in the global development high -level dialogue will be held in Beijing in June. "Argentina is very happy to be able to receive invitations," he told reporters that his country attaches great importance to the BRICS cooperation mechanism.

The independent news website "Dialogue China", which is concerned about China and Latin America issues, stated on the 15th that the global governance system is currently presenting a fragmented state. In developed countries, there are high prices and financial crises. Development and growth, Argentina hopes to join it. The Ecuador Dalladine American News Agency believes that the multilateralism advocated by the BRICS countries is based on new international relations of mutual respect, fairness, justice, and win -win cooperation, not war or intervention. It is hoped that multilateral initiatives will play a key role in supporting Latin American countries to move towards independence, peace, and multilateralism.

"The BRICS cooperation mechanism is of great significance to establish a new, more polarized and balanced world," Niuwangdao told the Global Times reporter. "The reason why we are interested in joining the BRICS It is a cooperation mechanism that is completely composed of an emerging economy. Here, cooperation will not be forcibly added to any additional conditions, and all cooperation will be mutually beneficial. "

"I noticed that some analysts believe that the economic influence of the five countries of the BRICS has even more than the trend of the Seven Domestic Groups. If this mechanism can further expand its capacity, its influence and status in international order will definitely rise further. . "The diplomat from Buenos Aires also said that it was not only Argentina holding the above views." In fact, almost all Latin American countries are seeking strong cooperation with BRICS countries because Latin America is Latin America. Believe in a multi -pole, harmonious, and balanced world. "

"For the United States, Argentina's embrace of China should be a alarm." The US "Foreign Policy" magazine recently published a comment article that the American Summit hosted by the United States in June was resisted by regional leaders, but at the same time The Latin American country represented by Argentina has shifted to the East to meet the needs of economic and development, and joined the "Belt and Road" initiative and participated in the global high -level dialogue.

In the context of the increasingly fierce game between China and the United States, does Argentina's frequent interaction with China, Russia and other countries make it undergo diplomatic pressure? Niuwangdao told the Global Times reporter that Argentina adhered to its independent foreign policy. Over the years, the country has not only maintained a comprehensive strategic partnership with China, but also maintains close cooperation with other BRICS countries.

"In fact, during the new crown pneumonia's epidemic, it was the key help of the BRICS countries to Argentina." He told reporters, "It is difficult for the difficulty of getting the new crown vaccine in Argentina. The famous Argentine diplomat also stated that he did not want to have additional conditions for cooperation between Latin America and other countries in any aspect, and Argentina also opposed impact on an unilateral economic or technical sanctions on any country.

Data show that in February this year, Argentina became the latest member of Beijing's "Belt and Road" initiative. So far, 21 countries in Latin America and Caribbean have participated in the "Belt and Road".

Niuwangdao said that as a rotating chairman of the Ratin America and the Caribbean community, Argentina believes that the Latin -in -law and BRICS countries have considerable docking and cooperation potential. "Most of the Latin American countries have a very high interest in the development relationship with Asia, especially China, because the two parties have a strong economic complementarity, especially in the field of infrastructure." Many Latin American countries have joined the 'Belt and Road' initiative. "

Russia's "Viewpoint" recently quoted the Waldi International Debate Club Project Director Yaroslav Laovlik that the United States and BRICS are competing in Latin America. It seems that some countries currently tend to BRICS countries. For example, Argentina's initiative to expand cooperation in China has shown a strong interest, and Uruguay has been accepted to join the BRICS New Development Bank. If the BRICS foreign exchange reserve library is reforming, it will bring real benefits to Latin America.
