BRICS and South American nations should strengthen cooperation in all endeavors and jointly promote development of the international order in a more just and equitable direction, President Xi Jinping said.

Xi made the comments at the BRICS Leaders-South America Dialogue Forum, held in Brasilia on Wednesday.
