The top leaders of the 5 countries believe that the prospects and momentum for economic growth in the BRICS member countries are still there, and will continue to serve as an important engine of global economic growth. BRICS members, under the guiding principle of open, equality, inclusiveness, mutual benefit and win-win cooperation, would further strengthen their strategic partnership, and promote the construction of equal and fair international order on the basis of international law.展开更多
