Moscow, July 23 /Xinhua/ — China is ready to uphold justice and bring positive, stabilizing and constructive forces to world affairs together with its BRICS partners, Chinese Ambassador to Russia Zhang Hanhui said in an article titled "Consolidation of Agreements, Joining Efforts, Big BRICS Promotes Transformation of Global Governance," published in the Russian newspaper Izvestia on Wednesday.
“The Chinese side is ready to work with its BRICS partners to uphold justice, bring positive, stabilizing and constructive forces to world affairs, promote peaceful settlement of disputes and develop strategic solutions to eliminate the root causes of problems while objectively assessing the circumstances,” the publication says.
As the Chinese diplomat noted, the 17th BRICS Leaders' Meeting, which recently concluded in Rio de Janeiro, fully demonstrated the responsibility and readiness of the BRICS countries to become the "vanguard" of the Global South, and also emphasized the role of the association in protecting peace and stability throughout the world, promoting global open development, and advancing exchanges and mutual learning among civilizations.
Zhang Hanhui stressed that the BRICS countries are the driving forces of economic growth. “In the context of the recession and trade disputes, we must focus on development,” he urged. According to the author of the publication, it is necessary to make efforts to build an open world economy, resolutely oppose unilateralism and protectionism, protect the fundamental principles of the World Trade Organization, promote the liberalization and simplification of trade and investment, and ensure the stability and smoothness of production and supply chains. The ambassador also reported that China has established the China Cooperation Center for the Development of Special Economic Zones in the BRICS Countries.
The Chinese diplomat believes it is necessary to raise the level of international financial cooperation and open up new promising areas of economic growth, expand cooperation in new areas such as digital technology and green development. “China, through the Global Development Initiative, will create the Digital South brand and conduct 200 training programs on the digital economy and artificial intelligence for the countries of the Global South over the next five years,” he said, adding that this year China will establish the China-BRICS Research Center for New Productive Forces and establish a scholarship for BRICS countries to promote the training of personnel in sectors such as industry and telecommunications.
Zhang Hanhui called the BRICS countries the initiators of inter-civilization dialogue and called for promoting exchanges and mutual learning among civilizations. He noted that China is ready to work with its BRICS partners to implement the Global Civilization Initiative in line with the civilizational concept of equality, mutual learning, dialogue and inclusiveness. The author of the article called for respecting the diversity of human civilizations, recognizing the right of peoples of different countries to seek ways to realize their values, rejecting any form of a “new Cold War” and ideological confrontation, continuously “enriching the palette” of human civilization, strengthening continuity, innovation and humanitarian exchanges in culture, actively promoting the protection of cultural heritage and the development of culture, and striving to create a harmonious atmosphere of mutual learning, exchanges and coexistence among various civilizations.
Zhang Hanhui also pointed out that against the backdrop of accelerated changes unseen in a century, the concept of global governance put forward by Chinese President Xi Jinping is increasingly proving its modern value and practical significance. “In the face of growing conflicts and differences, it is necessary to intensify expanded consultations based on equality and mutual respect. Profound common interests require joint contributions based on solidarity,” the ambassador emphasized.
According to the Chinese diplomat, thanks to the joint efforts of China, Russia and other BRICS partners, the BRICS cooperation mechanism has been continuously developed and strengthened, its representation has expanded, and its international influence has steadily increased. “BRICS provides an important platform for countries in the Global South to assert their right to development, safeguard international justice, and participate in the reform of the global governance system,” he said, adding that China will continue to follow the “BRICS spirit” and work with Russia and other BRICS partners to develop common values and protect common interests, making new contributions to building a community with a shared future for mankind. –0–
