In Rio de Janeiro, the Brazilian port city pulsing with culture and commerce, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi joined fellow ministers from BRICS nations—Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa—for a day of high-level talks.
As the UN marks its 80th anniversary, Wang Yi reminded the assembly that the founding of the United Nations opened a new chapter for collective peace-building and development. He warned that today’s international landscape is undergoing profound changes, with new and severe challenges testing global resolve.
"At this critical juncture, the future of humanity will be decided by whether countries make the right choice," Wang Yi said, underscoring the need for unity and vision. He argued that BRICS, as a positive and constructive force on the world stage, should take the lead in promoting peace and development.
Presided over by Brazilian Foreign Affairs Minister Mauro Vieira, the meeting brought ministers together to discuss how BRICS can bolster global peace and security. Delegates explored strategies to enhance cooperation on conflict prevention, humanitarian assistance and sustainable growth.
For young innovators and entrepreneurs tracking emerging markets, the Rio meeting sends a clear signal: collaboration among these major economies will shape trade routes, tech partnerships and social progress. Thought leaders and changemakers will be watching closely to see if BRICS transforms dialogue into real-world impact.
As ministers depart Rio, the questions raised here will echo through diplomatic corridors in the weeks ahead. With the 80th UN anniversary as a backdrop, BRICS’ collective choices could chart a course toward a more stable and equitable global future.
