JOHANNESBURG, South Africa -- China on Tuesday threw its weight behind plans to expand the loosely-defined BRICS club of large emerging economies, which is seeking to assert its political and economic clout on the global stage.
The BRICS nations of Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa, which represent a quarter of the global economy, are meeting for three days and interest in joining the group has surged.
"Whatever resistance there may be, BRICS, a positive and stable force for goodwill continue to grow," he said."We will forge a stronger BRICS strategic partnership, ...actively advance membership expansion", and"help make the international order more just and equitable". The summit in Johannesburg has underscored divisions with the West over the war in Ukraine, and the support Russia enjoys from its other BRICS partners at a time of global isolation.
He blamed sanctions for"seriously" affecting the global economic situation through the"violation of all the basic norms and rules of free trade and economic life".Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Brazil's President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva are also at the talks where some 50 other leaders have been invited.
"We want to sit at the negotiating table on an equal footing with the European Union, the United States or any other country," Lula said in a social media post on Tuesday.
