Xinhua News Agency, Rio de Janeiro, April 29 (Reporter Zhou Yongsui and Wang Tiancong) On April 29, local time, Wang Yi, member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and Foreign Ministers of the CPC Central Committee, attended the meeting of official BRICS members and partners to discuss the theme of strengthening multilateralism.

　　Wang Yi said that the way to solve the world's problems lies in upholding and practicing multilateralism. The "Big BRICS" after the expansion should continue to advocate consultation, joint construction and sharing, safeguard the basic norms of international relations, defend the multilateral trading system, and build a more fair and reasonable global governance system.

　　Wang Yi said that in the face of the United States waving the tariff stick around the world, all countries should make a choice: Do we allow the world to return to the jungle of the strong? Do you recognize that a country’s self-interest can override the public welfare of each country? Are international rules allowed to be ignored or even abandoned? Can you protect yourself as long as you compromise? The ultimate question is, should we accept a single-polar hegemony that is self-respected, or to welcome an equal and orderly multipolar world?

　　Wang Yi emphasized that the times cannot be reversed, and justice is in the hearts of the people. China's answer to the trade war is clear and firm: if we insist on fighting, we will accompany us to the end; if we are ready to talk, we must respect equally. What China focuses on is not only its legitimate rights, but also the common interests of all countries; what China safeguards is not only reciprocity and cooperation, but also international rules; what China adheres to is not only national and national dignity, but also the bright world in the world.
