Wang, also a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and director of the Office of the Central Commission for Foreign Affairs, said the meeting's participants reached the important consensus of upholding multilateralism, promoting political solutions to hotspot issues, and responding to traditional and non-traditional security threats in a coordinated way.

The meeting also conveyed the participants' common support for the BRICS and the Global South to uphold independence and self-reliance, enhance solidarity and mutual assistance, pool collective wisdom, and take stronger joint action, said Wang.

It also manifested the participants' support for further leveraging the meeting mechanism, maintaining communication and coordination on major international and regional hotspot issues, and constantly enriching Greater BRICS cooperation, he added.
