Picture this: on Monday, Chinese President Xi Jinping dialed into the virtual BRICS Summit from Beijing, urging fellow members to defend multilateralism and fortify a global trading system under strain.
In his address, Xi called on BRICS nations to step up cooperation within the group. “We must join hands to uphold multilateralism and the multilateral trading system,” he said, highlighting the need for unified action.
The next day, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian echoed that commitment, saying China is ready to implement the summit’s consensus, expand “BRICS Plus” cooperation, and help build an equal, orderly world with an inclusive global economy.
For young global citizens, entrepreneurs and changemakers, these pledges could reshape how emerging markets collaborate and drive growth. As BRICS Plus invites new partners into the fold, observers will track whether this surge of cooperation delivers fresh trade linkages, sustainable projects and a more balanced global order.
With multilateralism at a crossroads, the true test lies in turning high-level promises into concrete initiatives that benefit people across continents. The BRICS roadmap is unfolding—and the stakes have never been higher.
