Chinese President Xi Jinping will join fellow BRICS leaders in a virtual summit on Monday to discuss pressing global economic challenges, multilateral cooperation, and strategies to strengthen ties among emerging economies. The meeting, hosted by Brazil, comes amid growing concerns over unilateralism and protectionism impacting global stability.
Xi is expected to deliver a keynote speech emphasizing China's commitment to fostering 'an equal and orderly multipolar world' through BRICS collaboration. Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian described the bloc as a 'positive, stabilizing force' advocating fairness and common development.
'BRICS countries have consistently defended multilateralism and promoted inclusive economic globalization,' Lin stated during a press briefing in Beijing. He highlighted China's willingness to work with partners to advance high-quality cooperation within the framework.
The summit follows recent BRICS expansion efforts, with analysts noting its growing influence in reshaping global governance structures. Discussions are anticipated to address sustainable development, financial security, and mechanisms for crisis response in emerging markets.
As the world's second-largest economy, China's participation underscores its strategic focus on South-South cooperation and reforming international institutions to better reflect developing nations' priorities.
