BRICS was established 10 years ago. In the past decade， with strong guidance from the state leaders of these five countries， it has grown from nothing into an exuberant tree. The vitality of BRICS lies largely in its spirits： open， inclusive， cooperative， and win-win. This year marks the beginning of its second decade. On this occasion， China takes over the rotating presidency， and would like to work together， just as before， with all other member states to embrace the next “golden decade.”We are willing to do our bit for world stability and peace as well as the sound development of multilateralism.
