I am very impressed with the spirit of this new golden decade for BRICS. I am expecting a wider integration of more developing countries into this group. President Xi Jinping's speech is very important and it also calls, for me, attention to the need for peace and a stable environment in order to develop a deeper relationship among developing countries.

I am very interested in the last part of his speech, in which he said something related to BRICS. It's not just an organization for unilateral agendas, but for cooperation between developing countries. It's important to emphasize this because there are still some voices that are suspicious about the meaning of the BRICS countries. Actually, it is an organization for everybody.
