Moscow, July 8 /Xinhua/ — BRICS does not seek to defeat the West, but seeks equality and stable coexistence in the interests of all mankind, Director of the Institute of China and Modern Asia of the Russian Academy of Sciences /ICSA RAS/ Kirill Babayev said in an interview with Xinhua recently.
The 17th meeting of the BRICS leaders has just ended in the Brazilian city of Rio de Janeiro. K. Babayev noted that the international influence of BRICS, which already accounts for more than 45% of the world's GDP, is currently increasing. At the same time, as the expert emphasized, BRICS does not seek to defeat the West, but seeks equality and stable coexistence in the interests of all mankind.
He also drew attention to Russian-Chinese cooperation within the BRICS framework. “Russia and China are the two main pillars of BRICS, the most active participants in the association. Using the example of our bilateral relations, we show the whole world how to build trusting, friendly, mutually beneficial relations in the new era,” the director of the ICA RAS said.
If BRICS, continued K. Babayev, covers the entire world with a network of economic ties, then the Shanghai Cooperation Organization /SCO/ focuses on security issues and on preventing threats on the Eurasian continent.
"The SCO is the main stabilizing force in Eurasia. The organization's activities are aimed primarily at strengthening stability, creating trusting relationships and the general security of a united Greater Eurasia. This organization, through its activities, prevents the threats of terrorism, extremism, and ensures the security of large and small countries and peoples," said K. Babayev, answering a question from a Xinhua correspondent about the upcoming SCO summit in September in the Chinese city of Tianjin.
The expert believes that Russia and China play a very important role in both of these international formats. Today, it depends on them “what Eurasia will be like tomorrow, whether we will be able to build a unified partnership here on new, fair principles,” K. Babayev emphasized.
He added that the economies of the two countries successfully complement each other. “Trade between our countries is growing at an accelerated pace. But today our governments are already looking further — toward closer production cooperation, technological partnership,” K. Babayev stated. –0–
