Respected President Ramafosa, Respected President Lula, Respected President Putin, Respected Prime Minister Modi: It is a great pleasure to come to Johannesburg to discuss BRICS cooperation and development plans with colleagues. This is the third time that the BRICS Leaders' Meeting has entered Africa, which is of great significance. Thank you to President Ramafosa and the South African government for their meticulous and thoughtful arrangements for this meeting. Currently, the world is entering a new period of turbulence and transformation, undergoing major adjustments, divisions, and reorganizations, with an increase in uncertain, unstable, and unpredictable factors. The BRICS countries are an important force in shaping the international landscape. We independently choose the path of development, jointly defend the right to development, and jointly move towards modernization, which represents the direction of human society and will deeply affect the world's development process. Looking back on history, we have always upheld the BRICS spirit of openness, inclusiveness, and win-win cooperation, continuously pushing BRICS cooperation to a new level and assisting the development of the five countries; Always uphold international fairness and justice, uphold fairness and justice in major international and regional issues, and enhance the voice and influence of emerging market countries and developing countries. The BRICS countries have always been advocates and practitioners of independent foreign policies, insisting on starting from the rights and wrongs of the matter itself on major international issues, speaking impartially and in a fair manner, not trading based on principles, not succumbing to external pressure, and not being a vassal of other countries. The BRICS countries have broad consensus and common goals, and no matter how the international situation changes, the original intention and common aspirations of cooperation will not change. The BRICS cooperation is at a critical stage of connecting the past and opening up the future. We need to grasp the overall trend, lead the way, adhere to the original intention of unity and self-improvement, strengthen cooperation in various fields, promote high-quality partnerships, and promote global governance reform towards a more just and reasonable direction, injecting more certainty, stability, and positive energy into the world. ——We need to deepen economic, trade, and financial cooperation to support economic development. Development is an inalienable right of all countries, not a "patent" of a few countries. Currently, the momentum of global economic recovery is unstable, and international institutions predict that the world economy will grow by less than 3% this year. The challenges facing developing countries are even more severe, and achieving sustainable development goals is a long and arduous task. The BRICS countries should be peers on the path of development and revitalization, and oppose "decoupling and chain breaking" and economic coercion. We should focus on practical cooperation, especially in areas such as the digital economy, green development, and supply chain, and promote exchanges and exchanges in the fields of economy, trade, and finance. China will establish the "China BRICS New Era Science and Technology Innovation Incubation Park" to provide support for the transformation of scientific and technological innovation achievements; By relying on the BRICS remote sensing satellite constellation cooperation mechanism, we will explore the establishment of a "BRICS Global Remote Sensing Satellite Data and Application Cooperation Platform" to provide data support for the development of agriculture, ecology, disaster reduction and other fields in various countries. China is willing to work with all parties to jointly establish the "BRICS Sustainable Industry Exchange and Cooperation Mechanism", providing an industry docking and project cooperation platform for implementing the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. ——We need to expand political and security cooperation and maintain peace and tranquility. The benefits are greater than governance, and the harm is greater than chaos. Currently, the Cold War mentality is lingering, and the geopolitical situation is severe. People of all countries look forward to a good security environment. International security is indivisible, sacrificing the interests of other countries and seeking self-improvement
