"BRICS cooperation is very important to Argentina and the entire Latin American region." Niu Wangdao, the Argentine ambassador to China, said in an exclusive interview with this reporter recently that Argentina has always been concerned about the development of the BRICS cooperation mechanism, and this BRICS "China Year" A series of important activities have achieved fruitful results and made new contributions to promoting global development.
Niu Wangdao said that in recent years, the BRICS cooperation has achieved remarkable results. The establishment of the BRICS New Development Bank, the establishment of the BRICS foreign exchange reserve bank, and the public health cooperation under the BRICS cooperation framework have played a huge role in the development of the BRICS countries. It also promotes multilateral cooperation between BRICS and other developing countries."Many developing countries have large funding gaps in the field of infrastructure construction, and the support of the BRICS New Development Bank has provided a strong guarantee for the economic development of relevant countries."
Talking about anti-epidemic cooperation, Niu Wangdao said that Argentina has benefited a lot from the anti-epidemic cooperation with China, Russia, India and other BRICS countries."The BRICS countries have promoted the availability of vaccines and anti-epidemic materials in developing countries, and made great contributions to global public health cooperation. This has also given Argentina and other Latin American countries key support at a critical moment." Niu Wangdao said, The launch of the BRICS Vaccine R&D Center is of great significance. "The solidarity and cooperation of all countries is the embodiment of the BRICS spirit of openness, inclusiveness, and win-win cooperation."
In recent years, the BRICS cooperation has deepened, and the level of trade and investment liberalization and facilitation has been further improved."Developing countries have different levels of development, but have similar development demands. The 'BRICS+' proposed by China will further expand the scope of cooperation and allow economies with common goals to participate in it." Niu Wangdao said At present, the global economic recovery is fragile and weak, the development gap is widening, and in the face of global challenges, the importance of deepening South-South cooperation has become increasingly prominent.The "BRICS+" cooperation model will build consensus on maintaining the multilateral trading system and opposing protectionism, accelerate the flow of commodities, transfer technology, and achieve sustainable development. "The 'BRICS+' cooperation has yielded fruitful results."
At present, adhering to genuine multilateralism and firmly safeguarding the international system with the United Nations as the core and the international order based on international law has a more prominent practical urgency and is also a strong voice of the international community.Niu Wangdao said that solving global problems requires open cooperation rather than a Cold War mentality.The global development initiative proposed by China "is closely related to human development, and its core concept is people-centered." Niu Wangdao said that Argentina actively supports the global development initiative, because this initiative guides the direction for improving the level of global development and improving people's well-being ."The BRICS countries have broad consensus on sustainable development and other issues, and the cooperation between the BRICS countries and the vast number of developing countries will further promote global sustainable development."
Niu Wangdao said that Argentina is the rotating presidency of CELAC this year, and this year marks the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Argentina and China. Argentina looks forward to the continuous deepening of cooperation between Argentina and China, bringing more benefits to the two peoples."Argentina is a major producer of agricultural products, with abundant energy, minerals and other resources. We hope to continue to cooperate with BRICS countries to increase infrastructure investment to enhance export capacity, contribute to ensuring global energy security and food security, and contribute to global sustainable development. Make more contributions to sustainable development.” (Wang Xiaobo, reporter of this newspaper)
