What happened to the BRICS countries expanding their circle of friends in the Symphony of Civilization?

There is a model of "lucky boat" going to the world in the lobby of the hotel. Jasmine, which was introduced from abroad and became the flower of Fuzhou, is in full bloom among the flowers on the roadside. Fuzhou is known as the "land of bliss". Today, Fuzhou is embracing international friends with 2200-year-old openness and tolerance, and with the mind of saint Lin Zexu.

As an important supporting activity for the BRICS leaders' meeting in Xiamen in September this year, the Forum of BRICS Political Parties, Think Tanks and Non-governmental Organizations (hereinafter referred to as the "BRICS Forum") was held in Fuzhou, the capital of Fujian Province from June 10 to June 12. The BRICS leaders' meeting is related to the well-being of the people of the 3 billion BRICS countries, and also to the future and future of the whole world and all mankind. This "Trinity" Forum of BRICS countries is unique. Extending a hand of friendship to more developing countries will surely have a far-reaching impact on BRICS countries in the next decade.

BRICS cooperation has changed from "club" to "common destiny"

At the BRICS Political Party Forum held on June 5438+00, Song Tao, Minister of the International Department of the CPC Central Committee, pointed out the significance of the Trinity Forum at the beginning of his speech. He said that it is the first time in the history of BRICS cooperation that BRICS political parties sit together for a meeting. This is the design and arrangement made by China with a view to giving full play to the important role of political parties in promoting BRICS cooperation.

At the forum, Song Tao delivered a speech entitled "Strengthening Political Party Dialogue and Leading BRICS Cooperation". He said that political parties, as political organizations that play an important role in the internal affairs and diplomacy of various countries, should give full play to their own advantages in BRICS cooperation, give better play to their political leading role, communicate ideas from a strategic height, gather understanding from a political height, guide public opinion from a social height, and promote cooperation from a pragmatic height.

The BRICS countries are facing the same issues of the times, which also contain opportunities to create the future. In recent years, due to the overall slowdown of economic growth in BRICS countries, especially the fluctuation of commodity prices has had a major impact on the economies of Russia and Brazil, currency depreciation has slowed down the pace of economic growth in South Africa. As a result, the "BRIC fading theory" has appeared from time to time. Now, BRICS cooperation has ushered in its second decade. Under the background of frequent challenges in the world and tortuous development of economic globalization, we should unite and cooperate to overcome the difficulties, stimulate the endogenous power and great potential of development through reform and innovation, and make greater contributions to promoting world economic growth and improving global governance.

Subsequently, representatives of political parties from various countries spoke enthusiastically and praised the BRICS cooperation mechanism. Pereira, the representative of the Chairman of the Democratic Party of Brazil and deputy leader of the House of Representatives, said in his speech that the uniqueness of the BRICS mechanism lies in that it is not an existing mechanism, but a brand-new platform creatively established by relevant countries to overcome their own historical, cultural and geopolitical obstacles. It is its responsibility to plan a more reasonable world governance mechanism and create solutions for the world, and it shows good adaptability and growth.

"As leaders of emerging market countries and developing countries, BRICS countries are undergoing a transition from participants in global governance to leaders, and they have the ability and obligation to contribute more wisdom to coping with global challenges." Sergei Lezniak, deputy secretary of the General Committee of the United Russia Party of Russia, said that strengthening coordination and communication on major international issues and regional hotspot issues, working together to deal with global issues such as natural disasters, climate change, infectious diseases and terrorism, and taking pragmatic actions in maintaining and building an open world economy and promoting global economic governance reform will not only create a good environment for their own development, but also promote the development of the international order in a more just, rational and efficient direction and embark on the cause of * * *.

In the past, the BRICS cooperation mechanism was regarded as a "club", but now it has begun to put forward new plans as the "fate" of an influential international organization to promote wider international cooperation and promote the sustainable development of the world economy. In an interview with People's Daily Online, a representative of a political party in India admitted that the BRICS New Development Bank, AIIB and Belt and Road are all public goods provided by the BRICS countries to fill the "underdevelopment" of the global governance system, which has been widely welcomed by the world and the world pattern has also undergone profound changes due to the rise of the BRICS countries.

The "BRIC+"expansion model constantly expands each other's circle of friends.

The BRICS cooperation think tank will take the lead and will brainstorm ideas for BRICS cooperation. Guo Zai, Chairman of the Chinese Council of BRICS Think Tank Cooperation and Vice Minister of the International Liaison Department, said in his speech that Fujian has beautiful scenery and outstanding people, and has maintained the foundation of foreign exchanges for thousands of years. The forum held in Fujian is of great significance.

Practice has proved that academic exchanges among BRICS countries have promoted the exchange of ideas and provided impetus for effectively promoting the sustainable development of BRICS countries. Guo said that the BRICS academic forum should guide public opinion, focus on long-term macro-ideological innovation, and actively participate in global governance and the supply of public goods. With the deepening of cooperation, BRICS countries will encounter new challenges. He believes that as a think tank, it is necessary to provide more practical and effective strategies, actively make suggestions to the government, and take the initiative to speak to the society. Li Hongjie, vice president of Fujian Academy of Social Sciences, also said in an interview with People's Daily that the construction of new think tanks should have new ideas, forward-looking vision and practical plans.

The theme of this forum is "* * for cooperation and development, * * for a better future". We should not only expand cooperation in the economic field, but also expand cooperation in other fields and make full use of academic achievements. Marcos Digott, Special Deputy Secretary for Strategic Affairs of the Presidential Palace of Brazil, said that the BRICS countries can't ignore academic contributions, especially ideological contributions, and Brazil can make some contributions in football and medicine. Viacheslav Nikonov, Chairman of the Russian State Duma Science and Education Committee and Chairman of the BRICS Research Committee, also said in his speech that the BRICS Academic Forum is very important to all countries, and BRICS cooperation can make the voice louder and more powerful. He believes that the concept of "clash of civilizations" is wrong and "symphony of civilizations" is feasible.

The forum started at 10 is mainly for BRICS representatives, and the forum activities at 1 1 will be extended to developing countries. Luan Zhangjian, Director of the Research Office of the International Liaison Department and Secretary-General of the China BRICS Think Tank Cooperation Council, presided over the academic forum that day. He said that Chinese medicine in China can make greater contributions to the world, Brazil can improve the football level in China, and BRICS cooperation can promote substantive exchanges, openness, tolerance and cooperation among countries. He and many interviewees are full of confidence in the BRICS Trinity Forum and the BRICS leaders' meeting.

"Western public opinion has been singing down developing countries, and it turns out that these voices are unrealistic." Wang Wen, executive director of Chongyang Financial Research Institute of Renmin University of China, said that the "big country interaction model" supported by BRICS countries has exceeded the imagination of the West. This decade is quite remarkable and has achieved a great leap in history. Wang Wen believes that since the Belt and Road Initiative, China has gradually realized the "export of ideas". BRICS countries should also change the situation of "ideological trade deficit".

"International competition is conventional competition, and BRICS countries should strengthen cooperation with more developing countries." Huang Maoxing, dean of the School of Economics of Fujian Normal University, told People's Daily that the BRICS countries should "expand" into a more important force on the international stage, not only by cooperating with political parties, think tanks and non-governmental organizations, but also by cooperating with other countries to enhance the status and voice of the BRICS countries. He also suggested that Fujian should seize the opportunity of the Xiamen meeting to improve the level of social development and serve the people's livelihood.

Strengthening the social foundation of BRICS cooperation through popular support is the support and guarantee for the formation of BRICS countries. Julie, Secretary-General of China Association for the Promotion of International Exchanges, said that people of all countries are important social forces to participate in state affairs and promote economic development, and non-governmental organizations are mass organizations, which are more conducive to promoting communication between people.

The results of BRICS cooperation will eventually benefit the people and the ordinary people. Li Ruogu, vice chairman of the China Association for the Promotion of Peace and Development, said that the exchanges between non-governmental organizations in BRICS countries have penetrated into all walks of life, such as business, academia, media, think tanks, literary and art groups and so on, reflecting the wisdom and strength of the people. He hoped that non-governmental organizations would carry forward the BRICS spirit of openness, tolerance, cooperation and glory, further innovate cooperation concepts, broaden cooperation areas, enhance non-governmental exchanges, deepen unity and cooperation, and consolidate the public opinion base of BRICS cooperation.

During the tea break, representatives of political parties in South Africa had a "home talk" with the People's Daily reporter and talked about the significance of this forum. He said that the cooperation among BRICS countries is stable and far-reaching. It is necessary not only to give full play to the role of the meeting of senior security representatives and foreign ministers, but also to build a new mechanism platform in the fields of think tanks and non-governmental organizations. This "Trinity" forum is the embodiment of constantly exploring the expansion model of "BRIC+". At the same time, we should establish a broader partnership with developing countries to make BRICS cooperation the most influential platform for South-South cooperation in the world today, which is conducive to creating a good situation for emerging market countries and developing countries to develop together. ?
