Xi says development inalienable right of all countries, not privilege of a few countries

JOHANNESBURG - Chinese President Xi Jinping said here on Wednesday that development is an inalienable right of all countries, not a privilege of a few.

BRICS countries should be peers on the road of development and revitalization, oppose acts of "decoupling" and disrupting industrial and supply chains, as well as economic coercion, and focus on practical cooperation in such areas as digital economy, green development, supply chain, among others, Xi said when addressing the 15th BRICS Summit.
