In Brasilia, delegates at the 15th BRICS national security meeting found common ground on pressing global challenges, led by China’s foreign minister Wang Yi. Against a backdrop of rising interest in BRICS from nations eager to join, Wang called for tighter unity to bolster the bloc’s influence and defend developing countries’ rights.
Wang highlighted that transactional tactics in international politics and the weaponization of trade only deepen mistrust and threaten global security. He urged members to steer clear of concessions that yield no progress, arguing that solidarity offers the clearest path forward.
Building on this message, Wang encouraged BRICS partners to champion the right to development, take the lead in multilateral cooperation, and stand firm against any coercive power jeopardizing the future of emerging economies. His vision places BRICS at the forefront of defending fair and inclusive growth.
Other participants echoed these priorities, pledging to oppose bullying, interventionism, and tariff abuses. They agreed to uphold multilateralism, protect common interests across the Global South, and work in harmony to shape a multipolar world rooted in peace, security, fairness, and justice.
As BRICS looks toward its next summit, the call for unity underlines a shared promise: to serve as a reliable voice for nations seeking equity and opportunity on the world stage.
