Xi Jinping Delivers Video Speech at Opening Ceremony of BRICS Foreign Ministers' Meeting
On May 19, President Xi Jinping delivered a video speech at the opening ceremony of the BRICS Foreign Ministers' Meeting. Xi Jinping pointed out that at present, the impact of the century's changes and the century's epidemic has been superimposed, and the factors of instability, uncertainty and insecurity in the international situation have become increasingly prominent. However, the theme of the times of peace and development has not changed, the pursuit of a better life by the people of all countries has not changed, and the historical mission of the international community to help each other and win-win cooperation has not changed. As a positive, upward and constructive force in the international community, the BRICS countries should strengthen their beliefs, face the wind and waves, take practical actions to promote peaceful development, safeguard fairness and justice, advocate democracy and freedom, and inject stability and positive energy into international relations in a period of turbulence and change.

Xi Jinping emphasized that history and reality tell us that one-sided pursuit of one's own security at the expense of the security of other countries will only cause new contradictions and risks. To promote a safe and secure world, I recently launched the Global Security Initiative. The BRICS countries should strengthen political mutual trust and security cooperation, closely communicate and coordinate on major international and regional issues, take care of each other's core interests and major concerns, respect each other's sovereignty, security, and development interests, oppose hegemonism and power politics, and resist the Cold War mentality and Group confrontation, and jointly build a human security community.
Xi Jinping stressed that development is the common task of emerging market countries and developing countries. In the face of current risks and challenges, it is more important than ever to strengthen solidarity and cooperation between emerging market countries and developing countries. The five countries should carry out dialogue and exchanges with more emerging market countries and developing countries, enhance understanding and mutual trust, tighten the ties of cooperation, deepen the integration of interests, make the cake of cooperation bigger and bigger, make the forces of progress stronger and stronger, and make greater contributions to the realization of the beautiful vision of building a community with a shared future for mankind.
