Rio de Janeiro, Brazil — Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi rallied BRICS nations to lead global peace efforts during a high-stakes meeting in Rio de Janeiro this week. With geopolitical tensions rising, his speech highlighted the urgency of collective action among emerging economies. 🕊️
📅 Monday’s BRICS Foreign Ministers’ Meeting, chaired by Brazil’s Mauro Vieira, tackled pressing challenges like security crises and economic instability. Wang, a senior leader of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, emphasized the timing: "2024 marks 80 years since the UN’s founding—a reminder that collaboration shapes humanity’s future."
