BRICS, a group that sees itself as a counterweight to Western economic domination, derives its name from Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa. The 15th BRICS Summit started on Tuesday in Johannesburg, South Africa.
President Xi Jinping said Tuesday that China and South Africa were "standing at a new historical starting point" as he met his counterpart Cyril Ramaphosa in Pretoria on a visit to attend a BRICS summit.
"Today, standing at a new historical starting point, inheriting friendship, deepening cooperation, and strengthening coordination are the common aspirations of the two countries, and are also the important tasks entrusted to us by the times," Xi said, according to a readout from state broadcaster CCTV.
