Chinese President Xi Jinping will participate in the upcoming BRICS leaders' meeting via video link from Beijing on September 8, reinforcing China's commitment to multilateral cooperation. The announcement, made by China's Foreign Ministry on Sunday, highlights Beijing's active role in shaping discussions on global economic governance and development priorities.
The virtual summit, hosted at Brazil's invitation, comes as BRICS nations – Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa – seek to strengthen collaboration on issues ranging from trade innovation to climate resilience. Analysts suggest the meeting could address emerging market concerns about currency stability and sustainable infrastructure investment.
This year's agenda is expected to focus on enhancing practical cooperation in technology sharing and supply chain optimization, particularly relevant for Asian economies navigating post-pandemic recovery. The participation of Xi, who has consistently emphasized BRICS' role in promoting a 'more just international order,' signals China's continued prioritization of South-South cooperation frameworks.
For business leaders and investors, the summit outcomes may offer insights into new financial mechanisms and cross-border digital trade initiatives. Recent BRICS-led developments, including the New Development Bank's expanded membership, have already created fresh opportunities in Asian markets.
