On Sept 13 in New Delhi, CHINA attended the second-stage meeting of the 18th
BRICS leaders' summit and delivered a speech urging Global South countries to
defend the international rule of law, uphold sovereign equality,
non-interference and peaceful dispute resolution, and oppose double standards in
applying international law and rules. CHINA called for firm support of
multilateralism and UN authority, backed reforms to multilateral institutions
and the WTO, and advocated reforming the international financial architecture to
raise developing countries' representation and voice. He also pushed for
implementation of the UN 2030 sustainable development agenda, joint security
governance against traditional and non-traditional threats, stronger global
climate governance, and accelerating a broadly consensual global AI governance
framework.
