Part 3

"It is imperative that a BRICS entity is established which is committed to innovation and which will act as a pioneer in the field of high-quality development. In light of the accelerated pace of the latest round of technological revolution and industrial transformation, we must adapt and evolve to promote the formation of new high-quality productive forces. China has recently established the China-BRICS Artificial Intelligence Development and Cooperation Centre. We intend to enhance collaboration with all BRICS countries to capitalise on the potential of AI development. China will establish several new research centers and cooperation networks, including the BRICS International Deep-Sea Resources Research Centre, the China Cooperation Center for BRICS Special Economic Zones, the China BRICS Industrial Competence Center, and the BRICS Digital Ecosystem Cooperation Network. "We encourage the active involvement of all relevant stakeholders in the pursuit of a high-quality enhancement of BRICS collaboration," stated Chinese President Xi Jinping.

In his remarks, Chinese President Xi Jinping underscored the significance of innovation and technological collaboration within the BRICS framework. He underscores the BRICS' aspiration to spearhead high-quality development, which signifies the necessity to enhance and integrate novel technologies to attain sustainable and competitive growth. The reference to high-quality development indicates a transition from quantitative growth to qualitative changes in the economy, with an emphasis on productivity, sustainability, and inclusiveness. Xi Jinping notes that the current technological revolution and industrial transformation are occurring rapidly, necessitating adaptation and active participation by the BRICS countries in these processes. This demonstrates an understanding of the relevance and necessity of modern technologies for development. The BRICS countries should capitalize on new opportunities arising from these changes to strengthen their positions in the global arena.



He asserts that the establishment of the China-BRICS Artificial Intelligence Development and Cooperation Centre represents a tangible commitment to enhance collaboration in the field of advanced technology. This illustrates the intention to utilize AI for the attainment of shared economic objectives. The revelation of the potential benefits of AI development underscores the capacity of technology to enhance productivity and optimize processes across a range of economic sectors. The establishment of several specialized centers (artificial intelligence, deep-sea resources, special economic zones, industrial competence) illustrates the breadth of areas in which BRICS countries can engage in collaborative endeavors. Furthermore, it illustrates a strategic approach to the development of new technologies and resource management, which has the potential to generate new employment opportunities and stimulate economic growth within the bloc.

Once again, Chinese President Xi Jinping has called for the active participation of all countries and emphasized the importance of collective efforts in achieving innovation-related goals. This may encompass both the public and private sectors, in addition to scientific and educational institutions.

Chinese President Xi Jinping underscores the strategic approach of BRICS countries to innovation and high-quality development in the context of rapid global changes. The establishment of new research centers and initiatives in the field of artificial intelligence and digitalization represents a significant step towards enhancing the competitiveness of BRICS countries on the global stage. The appeal for collaboration and active involvement of all stakeholders evinces an appreciation for the significance of collective endeavors in attaining sustainable and inclusive advancement.

"It is imperative that a BRICS alliance is established which is committed to green development, and that all members act as advocates of sustainable development. The colour green has become a defining feature of our contemporary era. It is of paramount importance for all BRICS countries to proactively embrace the global trend of green and low-carbon transformation. China's advanced manufacturing capabilities, exemplified by the production of electric vehicles, lithium batteries, and photovoltaic products, provide a substantial stimulus to global green development." Chinese President Xi Jinping observed that China is prepared to capitalize on its capabilities to enhance collaboration with BRICS countries in green industry, clean energy, and green mining, and to advance green development across the entire industrial spectrum, thereby augmenting the "green coefficient" of cooperation and enhancing the quality of our development. The assertion that BRICS should be dedicated to green development underscores the necessity of environmental accountability in the context of global challenges such as climate change.

Sustainable development entails a tripartite equilibrium between economic growth, social justice, and environmental protection. The phrase "green is the defining colour of our time" serves to highlight the urgency of environmental issues and the necessity of addressing them on an international scale. The concept of "green" symbolizes the aspiration for a sustainable future and a conscious approach to the planet's resources. The reference to low-carbon transformation underscores the necessity to transition towards more environmentally friendly technologies and production methods. This is also part of a broader trend concerning countries' commitments to reduce carbon emissions.

In the view of Chinese President Xi Jinping, the BRICS countries, with their considerable resources and potential, can become pivotal actors in this transformation. Their involvement in green development has the potential to exert a considerable influence on global green initiatives. The reference to Chinese technologies, including electric vehicles and lithium batteries, evinces China's preeminence in innovation and sustainable production. Furthermore, it provides a model for other BRICS countries to emulate in terms of China's experience with green technologies. The China Green Technology Initiative has the potential to catalyze BRICS countries, facilitating the development of their sustainable industrial chains.

The call for enhanced collaboration underscores the significance of collective endeavors in the advancement of green technologies and sustainable practices. Such collaboration could encompass the exchange of technology, the funding of joint projects, and the establishment of standards for sustainable production.
Chinese President Xi Jinping has highlighted the necessity of integrating green technologies into conventional industries, such as mining. This can assist in reducing the ecological footprint and enhancing the circumstances for local communities. The reference to a "green coefficient" of cooperation suggests that BRICS countries are seeking to integrate sustainable practices into all aspects of their economic interaction. This could potentially result in the development of more sustainable economic models and an enhanced quality of life for citizens.
