Wang Wenbin: The BRICS country is an important cooperation mechanism for emerging markets and developing countries, and it is also an important platform for South -South cooperation. In the 16 years since the establishment of the BRICS countries, it has maintained a good development trend, and pragmatic cooperation in various fields has continued to become deeply practical. It has become a positive, stable, and constructive force on the international stage. The international influence and attractiveness have been continuously improved.

Since its establishment, the BRICS mechanism has been closely linked to the fate of the majority of emerging markets and developing countries. New Development Bank has realized the first batch of expansion, which will provide financial support for the development of more developing countries. It will also enhance the bank's right to speak and influence in the international financial system. Faced with the current centennial change bureau, century epidemic, international hotspot interfingment and superimposed situation, the BRICS countries have agreed that they should strengthen cooperation with other emerging markets and developing countries, further enhance the representativeness of the BRICS mechanism, and issue them on major international and regional issues. The more loud "BRICS sound", work together to deal with challenges and maintain the common interests and development space of emerging markets and developing countries.

As the chairman of the BRICS this year, China actively supports BRICS countries to launch the process of expansion and expand "BRICS+" cooperation. I also introduced it just now that during the BRICS leaders held yesterday, the leaders of the five countries agreed to continue the "BRICS+" cooperation to promote the process of the BRICS expansion. Consensus is also reflected in the "Fourteenth Meeting of the BRICS Leaders". This fully shows that the cooperation of bricks is open and tolerant. China will promote the in -depth discussions on the expansion of the BRICS parties, and formulate expansion standards and procedures on the basis of consultation. Looking forward to more like -minded partners to join the BRICS "big family".
