Chinese Premier Li Qiang and Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed turned heads at the 17th BRICS Summit in Rio de Janeiro this weekend, pledging to turbocharge cooperation on infrastructure and trade. The powerhouse duo spotlighted the Addis Ababa-Djibouti Railway—a flagship Belt and Road project—as a model for sustainable development. 🚂✨
Li emphasized China’s commitment to true multilateralism, urging nations to unite against protectionism and keep global trade flowing. "Economic globalization isn’t a trend—it’s a lifeline," he said during the meeting, framing the China-Ethiopia partnership as a blueprint for South-South collaboration.
With the BRICS bloc (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa) gaining momentum as a counterweight to Western-led economic systems, Li’s push for high-quality investments in Africa signals a fresh chapter in tech-driven, eco-friendly growth. 🌱💡
