Chinese President Xi Jinping called Brics a “constructive force” that contributes to global economic growth while lauding Beijing’s ties with Johannesburg, ahead of the bloc’s annual summit that begins on Tuesday.
Xi made the remarks after arriving in Johannesburg on Monday night for the meeting of emerging economies – Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa. He said China’s relations with South Africa would inject greater stability into a “turbulent world”.
“As an important cooperation platform for emerging market countries and major developing countries, the Brics cooperation mechanism has become a constructive force for promoting world economic growth, improving global governance, and promoting the democratisation of international relations,” Xi said, according to Chinese state news agency Xinhua.
