The BRICS countries are called BRICS because they quoted the English initials of Brazil, Russian, Indian and China. Its pronunciation is very similar to the word "bricks" in English, so it is called "bricks". In 20 10, South Africa officially joined and became a BRICS country. Following the principles of openness and transparency, solidarity and mutual assistance, deepening cooperation and seeking common development, and the BRICS spirit of "openness, tolerance, cooperation and win-win", BRICS countries are committed to building a closer, more comprehensive and stronger partnership.

Since the establishment of the BRICS cooperation mechanism, the cooperation foundation has become increasingly solid and the fields have gradually expanded, which has become a * * * meeting type.

A multi-level structure of pragmatic cooperation in dozens of fields, such as economy and trade, finance, science and technology, agriculture, culture, education, health, think tanks and friendship cities, supported by ministerial meetings such as the meeting of senior security representatives and the meeting of foreign ministers.

The influence of BRICS cooperation has gone beyond the five countries and become a constructive force to promote world economic growth, improve global governance and promote the democratization of international relations.
