At the 14th BRICS Summit on June 23 

► We need to uphold solidarity and safeguard world peace and tranquility. 

► We need to uphold cooperation to boost development and jointly tackle risks and challenges. 

► We need to uphold the pioneering spirit and innovation and unleash the potential and vitality of cooperation. 

► We need to uphold openness and inclusiveness and pool collective wisdom and strength. 

► Over the past 16 years, the giant ship of BRICS has sailed forward tenaciously against raging torrents and storms. Riding the wind and cleaving the waves, it has embarked on a righteous course of mutual support and win-win cooperation. 

► BRICS countries gather not in a closed club or an exclusive circle, but a big family of mutual support and a partnership for win-win cooperation. 

► Just as a crisis may bring chaos, it can also spur change. A lot will ride on how we handle the crisis. 

►Those who seize the opportunities of the new economy, such as big data and artificial intelligence, are in sync with the pulse of the times. Those who seek to create monopoly, blockade and barriers in science and technology in order to disrupt other countries’ innovation and development and hold on to their dominant position are doomed to fail.

At the Opening Ceremony of the BRICS Business Forum on June 22 

►We should embrace solidarity and coordination and jointly maintain world peace and stability. 

►We should reach out to each other and jointly promote sustainable global development.  

►We should tide over difficulties together and jointly pursue win-win cooperation.  

►We should be inclusive and jointly expand openness and integration. 

►Human history, like a river, keeps surging forward, with moments of both calm waters and huge waves. 

►Blind faith in the so-called “position of strength” and attempts to expand military alliances and seek one’s own security at the expense of others will only land oneself in a security dilemma. 

►Anyone who attempts to turn back the wheel of history and block others’ way will only have his own path blocked. 

►I am convinced that as long as we hoist high the sail of mutual benefit and win-win and keep a steady hand on the tiller of solidarity and cooperation, we will break waves and steer the giant ship of BRICS countries toward a brighter future!
