During his two-day visit, Xi also met Nguyen Phu Trong, general secretary of the Vietnamese Communist Party, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh and Vuong Dinh Hue, chairman of the National Assembly of Vietnam.
In his meeting with Chinh, Xi said that China and Vietnam should oppose any “attempt to mess up the Asia-Pacific” – a veiled reference to the US Indo-Pacific strategy.
The BRICS is "Non-West" but not "Anti-West." It aims to build a more inclusive global environment where voices and interests of all, especially those in the Global South, are heard & respected.
Since its inception 12 years ago, the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) has seen more than three-quarters of the world’s countries join its cooperative efforts.
