Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi emphasized the need for BRICS countries to foster a multi-polar world and economic globalization that benefits all. Speaking on Friday at a meeting of BRICS foreign ministers, Wang, who is also a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, highlighted the importance of common security to achieve lasting peace. He stressed that no country has the right to control the global security agenda or build its own security at the expense of others.

Wang also urged BRICS nations to prioritize development, focusing on poverty reduction, development financing, energy, and food security for developing countries. He called for BRICS to seize opportunities presented by the technological revolution and industrial transformation.

Wang underscored the need to practice multilateralism and improve global governance, advocating for greater participation of Global South countries in international decision-making processes. He also stressed the importance of enhancing their voice and representation in global institutions.

Later the same day, at a meeting between the Committee of Ten (C10) Heads of State and Government on UN Security Council Reform and foreign ministers of the five permanent UN Security Council members, Wang called for increased representation of developing countries, particularly through special arrangements for Africa.
