Chinese President Xi Jinping called on world countries on Wednesday to overcome difficulties through joint work and jointly strive for win-win cooperation.
This came in Xi’s virtual speech at the opening ceremony of the BRICS Business Forum, according to the Xinhua News Agency.
Currently, some major industry and supply chains are being “deliberately obstructed, commodity prices fluctuate at high levels, inflation is rising around the world, international financial markets remain volatile, and the momentum of global economic recovery continues to decline,” Xi said.
He added: “People are concerned that the global economy will fall into the quagmire of crises. At this crucial moment, only through solidarity and cooperation can we overcome economic crises.”
The major developed countries should adopt responsible economic policies, Xi said, calling on them to avoid the spread of negative effects of their policies and prevent severe shocks to developing countries.
For his part, Russian President Vladimir Putin called on the BRICS countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa) to cooperate in confronting the “selfish actions” of Western countries, against the backdrop of unprecedented sanctions imposed on Moscow over the Ukraine conflict.
“By relying only on sincere and mutually beneficial cooperation, we can look for exits to the crisis situation that is hitting the global economy due to the selfish and reckless actions of some countries,” Putin said during a virtual summit of the group, referring to the impact of sanctions on the global economy, which in his opinion exceeds the dangers of war. on Ukraine.
