尊敬的莫迪总理，

各位同事：

Your Excellency Prime Minister Narendra Modi,

Colleagues,

很高兴同大家相聚在新德里，感谢莫迪总理和印度政府的周到安排。

It gives me great pleasure to join you in New Delhi. I thank Prime Minister Modi and the Indian government for the thoughtful arrangements.

今年是金砖国家合作20周年。20年来，金砖合作机制不断发展壮大，展现出蓬勃生机活力，成为当今世界最具影响力的新兴市场和发展中国家合作平台。

This year marks the 20th anniversary of BRICS cooperation. Over the past two decades, BRICS has been growing with strong vigor and vitality, and become the most influential cooperation platform in today's world for emerging markets and developing countries.

这是自立自强的20年。金砖国家作为全球南方第一方阵，坚持独立自主，积极探索符合自身国情的发展道路，成为新兴市场和发展中国家联合自强的典范。

These are 20 years of self-reliance and self-strengthening. Standing at the forefront of the Global South, we BRICS countries have upheld independence, actively explored development paths suited to our respective national conditions, and set a fine example of emerging markets and developing countries seeking strength through unity.

这是风雨同舟的20年。金砖国家不畏艰难、砥砺前行，携手应对国际金融危机、新冠疫情、气候变化等挑战，坚定维护全球南方共同利益，为世界提供稳定性和正能量。

These are 20 years of standing together through wind and rain. BRICS countries have been forging ahead with an undaunted spirit. Hand in hand we tackled the global financial crisis, COVID pandemic, climate change and other challenges, and we resolutely defended the common interests of the Global South, providing the world with stability and positive energy.

这是成果丰硕的20年。金砖国家实现历史性扩员，建立起全方位、多层次合作架构，不断深化贸易、投资、金融、科技等合作，迈入“大金砖合作”高质量发展新阶段。

These are 20 years of fruitful outcomes. BRICS has realized a historic expansion, and now has a comprehensive, multifaceted cooperation structure with ever deepening cooperation in trade, investment, finance and technology, among others. It has entered a new stage of high-quality development of greater BRICS cooperation.

当前，世界百年变局加速演进，全球南方卓然壮大，世界多极化不可阻挡。与此同时，单边主义、强权政治逆流涌动，多边主义和国际秩序受到冲击，和平赤字、发展赤字、安全赤字、治理赤字有增无减。我提出全球发展倡议、全球安全倡议、全球文明倡议、全球治理倡议，就是为了破解这些赤字，推动建设一个更加美好的世界。金砖国家要坚定站在历史正确一边，勇做时代先锋，引领国际秩序朝着更加公正合理的方向发展，携手推动构建人类命运共同体。

Today, changes unseen in a century are accelerating across the world. The Global South is gaining strength, and the trend toward a multipolar world is unstoppable. At the same time, unilateralism and power politics are surging against the tide, lashing at multilateralism and the international order. The deficits in peace, development, security and governance keep growing. For the exact purpose of addressing these deficits and building a better world, I have put forward the Global Development Initiative, the Global Security Initiative, the Global Civilization Initiative and the Global Governance Initiative. BRICS must stand firmly on the right side of history, strive to be a pioneer of our times, steer the international order in a direction that is more just and equitable, and work together to build a community with a shared future for humanity.

第一，金砖国家要做促进创新发展的先锋。以人工智能为代表的新一轮科技革命和产业变革加速突破，深刻影响世界发展格局。金砖国家要牢牢把握主动权，加强人工智能合作，鼓励开源开放、合作共享，推动务实合作向新而行、向高攀登。不久前，中方携手各方推动成立了世界人工智能合作组织，并面向金砖国家等建设国际人工智能应用合作中心，为全球尤其是全球南方国家加强人工智能合作搭建了重要平台，欢迎金砖各国积极参与。在此，我提出金砖国家人工智能赋能新型工业化倡议，愿同各方共同打造更多研发和应用成果，深化产业链供应链合作。事实必将证明，“脱钩断链”阻碍不了我们的发展进程，“小院高墙”只会禁锢自己、割裂世界。

First, BRICS should be a pioneer in advancing innovation-driven development. The new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation represented by AI is bringing breakthroughs at a faster pace, shaping the global development landscape. We BRICS countries must keep the initiative firmly in our hands, strengthen cooperation in the field of AI, encourage open source, openness, collaboration and sharing, and break new grounds and scale new heights in our practical cooperation. Not long ago, China, together with various parties, initiated the World AI Cooperation Organization, and has developed international AI application cooperation centers with BRICS and others, which provide important platforms for closer AI cooperation for the world, particularly Global South countries. We welcome the active participation of BRICS countries. Here, I propose the BRICS initiative of AI-empowered new industrialization. China hopes to work with all parties for more outcomes in R&D and application and deeper cooperation in industrial and supply chains. Facts will prove that decoupling and cutting off supply chains will not hold back our development process, and espousing "small yard, high fences" will only box oneself in and divide the world.

第二，金砖国家要做维护和平稳定的先锋。当今世界很不太平，变和乱的一面更加突出。归根到底是战后国际秩序发生动摇，联合国宪章宗旨和原则没有得到有效遵守。金砖国家应该站稳立场、主持公道，为消弭战乱、维护和平而努力。要秉持共同、综合、合作、可持续的安全观，反对冷战思维和阵营对抗，反对侵犯别国主权、干涉别国内政，建设性参与热点问题解决，为寻求标本兼治之道作出金砖独特贡献。

Second, BRICS should be a pioneer in upholding peace and stability. Far from being tranquil, the world today is increasingly fluid and turbulent. This is fundamentally because the postwar international order is being undermined, and the purposes and principles of the U.N. Charter are not effectively observed. BRICS should stand firm, uphold justice, and strive to put an end to conflicts and defend peace. We should act on the vision of common, comprehensive, cooperative and sustainable security, oppose the Cold War mentality and bloc confrontation, and oppose violation of other countries' sovereignty or interference in other countries' internal affairs. We should participate constructively in the settlement of hotspot issues, and make BRICS' unique contribution to addressing both the symptoms and root causes.

中东海湾局势仍在复杂演变。这场战事给地区各国人民造成严重损失，也不符合国际社会共同利益。我提出维护和促进中东和平稳定的4点主张，旨在呼吁缓局降温、止战促和。有关各方要坚持政治解决方向，推动实现永久全面停火。要重视解决根源性问题，重建地区国家互信，构建安全新架构。巴勒斯坦问题始终是中东问题的核心，其根本出路是落实“两国方案”、实现巴以和平共处。中方愿同金砖成员一道，为实现中东海湾地区和平安宁发挥应有作用。

The situation in the Middle East remains complex and fluid. This war has inflicted serious losses on the people of all countries in the region, and it is against the common interests of the international community. I have set out four propositions on safeguarding and promoting peace and stability in the Middle East, which are aimed at de-escalation, ending hostilities and promoting peace. The relevant parties should keep to the direction of political settlement, and work for a permanent, comprehensive ceasefire. Attention should be paid to addressing the problems at the source, rebuilding trust between regional countries, and establishing a new security architecture. The Palestinian question is always at the core of the Middle East issue, and the fundamental way forward is to implement the two-state solution and realize peaceful coexistence between Palestine and Israel. China will work with fellow BRICS members to play a due role in bringing peace and tranquility to the Middle East.

第三，金砖国家要做推动文明互鉴的先锋。和羹之美，在于合异。金砖国家传承古老文明、孕育多元文化，应当成为不同文明包容共存的百花园。要弘扬全人类共同价值，倡导文明交流互鉴、和合共生。要办好金砖国家人文交流论坛，分享治国理政经验，为国与国关系稳定发展汇聚正能量。深化文化、旅游、教育等合作，加强青年交流，促进民众常来常往、相知相亲。

Third, BRICS should be a pioneer in facilitating mutual learning between civilizations. As a Chinese adage goes, the beauty of a delicious soup lies in the blending of different flavors. With our time-honored and diverse cultures, BRICS should be a garden of inclusive coexistence that allows various civilizations to flourish. We should promote the common values of humanity, and advocate exchange, mutual learning and harmonious coexistence between civilizations. We should hold the BRICS People-to-People Exchange Forum to share experience on national governance and build up positive energy for stable state-to-state relations. We should deepen cooperation in culture, tourism and education, step up exchanges between our youths, and facilitate mutual visits between the people to increase mutual understanding and amity.

第四，金砖国家要做改革完善全球治理的先锋。构建什么样的全球治理体系，决定着人类社会前途命运。金砖国家要顺应国际关系民主化大势，推动构建更加公正合理的全球治理体系，维护联合国权威，反对退群毁约和另起炉灶。支持以世界贸易组织为核心的多边贸易体制，推动世界贸易组织改革，反对滥施关税，抵制一切形式的保护主义措施。引领网络、外空、深海等新疆域全球治理，提升全球南方国家话语权。

Fourth, BRICS should be a pioneer in reforming and improving global governance. What kind of global governance system to build will determine the future of humanity. BRICS should align with the trend toward greater democracy in international relations, work toward a more just and equitable global governance system, uphold the authority of the U.N., and oppose withdrawal from international organizations and treaties or creating rival systems. We should support the multilateral trading system with the World Trade Organization at its core, advance WTO reform, oppose abuse of tariffs, and reject all forms of protectionist measures. We should steer global governance in frontier domains such as cyberspace, outer space and deep sea, and increase the voice of Global South countries.

各位同事！

Colleagues,

二十年风雨兼程，团结合作始终是金砖事业发展的力量之源。我们要坚持坦诚相待、求同存异，尊重彼此核心关切，以沟通对话增进相互理解、妥处矛盾分歧，确保金砖合作行稳致远。

During our arduous journey of 20 years, solidarity and cooperation have always been the source of strength for the cause of BRICS. We should continue treating each other with candor and sincerity, and seeking common ground while shelving differences. We should respect each other's core concerns, and commit ourselves to communication and dialogue to increase mutual understanding and properly handle disagreements, so that BRICS cooperation will continue to advance steadily.

中国将于明年接任金砖主席国，主办金砖国家领导人第十九次会晤。中方愿以此为契机，同各方凝聚共识、开创未来，开启金砖合作第三个“金色十年”，共创繁荣进步的光明前景。

China will take over the BRICS chairship next year, and host the 19th BRICS Summit. The Chinese side will seize the opportunity to build consensus and work with all parties to plan for the future. Together, we will usher in the third golden decade of BRICS cooperation, and open up a bright prospect of shared prosperity and progress.

谢谢大家！

Thank you.
