Chinese President Xi Jinping on Thursday said BRICS countries – Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa – should help to stabilize international relations at a time of turbulence.
He made the statement in an address at a session of the BRICS foreign ministers’ meeting, which is taking place by video link.
“As a positive, inspiring and constructive force in the international community, the BRICS countries need to take real action to promote peace and development, uphold fairness and justice, and advocate democracy and freedom, so as to inject stability and positive energy into international relations in a period of turbulence and transformation,” Xi Jinping was quoted as saying by China’s Foreign Ministry.
