China's Foreign Minister Wang Yi on Tuesday called on BRICS countries to strengthen cooperation on strategic mineral resources while jointly addressing challenges ranging from Ebola to artificial intelligence. Wang spoke at a security meeting in New Delhi.
A ministry statement said the countries should respond to global energy and food security issues and unite against the Ebola epidemic in Africa.
The countries should also combat all forms of terrorism, oppose the weaponization of outer space and maintain close oversight of AI risks, the statement added. Wang urged BRICS members to uphold multilateralism and oppose unilateralism and protectionism.
He said the group should speak up for justice, deliver fair outcomes and elevate its role in international affairs while supporting dialogue to resolve disputes.
