俄罗斯等国家元首将于下月举行峰会。
中国领导人习近平将于下月访问俄罗斯，并参加在卡赞举行的BRICS峰会，这是外交部长王毅于星期四确认的消息。这次峰会对西方全球影响力的抗衡来自莫斯科和北京之间的努力。
王毅星期四在圣彼得堡与俄罗斯总统普京会面，并高度赞扬了两个国家之间的关系。中国外交部长表示，习近平“高兴地接受”了普京的邀请，将于10月访问卡赞并参加BRICS峰会。
普京在会面中宣布，他和习近平还将进行一场双边会谈，以讨论两国之间关系的发展情况，称其“正在成功发展”，“在所有方向上”。
习近平最后一次访问俄罗斯是在2023年3月，普京随后也来到中国。最近，两位领导人还在北京和哈萨克斯坦会面。
俄罗斯自乌克兰战争开始以来变得越来越依赖中国经济，因为西方制裁限制了俄罗斯对国际贸易系统的访问。中国与俄罗斯的贸易额已达2400亿美元，部分帮助俄罗斯减轻了制裁的影响。
俄罗斯将大部分能源出口交给中国，并依靠中国公司进口高技术零部件以规避西方制裁。
在过去两年中，这两个国家也加深了军事合作。
BRICS联盟于2006年由巴西、俄罗斯、印度和中国等国创立，南非于2010年加入。最近，它已经进行扩展，并包括伊朗、埃及、埃塞俄比亚和阿联酋在内。沙特阿拉伯已表示考虑加入，阿塞拜疆和马来西亚也正式申请了。
BRICS的目的是增强主要新兴经济体的发言权，以平衡西方主导的全球秩序。其创始成员呼吁创建一个更加公平的世界秩序，并改革联合国、国际货币基金组织和世界银行等国际机构。
原文摘要：
Chinese leader Xi Jinping will visit Russia next month for a summit of the BRICS bloc of developing economies, China’s Foreign Minister Wang Yi confirmed Thursday, a move that comes as Moscow and Beijing seek to counter the West’s global influence.
Xi’s visit to Russia will be his second since the Kremlin sent troops into Ukraine in February 2022. China claims to take a neutral position in the conflict, but it has backed the Kremlin’s contentions that Russia’s action was provoked by the West, and it continues to supply key components needed by Moscow for weapons production.
Wang Yi met with Russian President Vladimir Putin in St. Petersburg Thursday and the two hailed ties between the two countries. The Chinese foreign minister said that Xi “happily accepted” Putin’s invite to attend the BRICS summit in the Russian city of Kazan in October.
Putin, in turn, announced that the two will also sit down for a bilateral meeting in Kazan and discuss various aspects of the Russia-China relations, which “are developing quite successfully” and “in all directions.”
Xi last visited Russia in March 2023 and Putin reciprocated with his own trip to China in Oct. that year. The two leaders have since also met in Beijing in May, where Putin took the first foreign trip of his fifth presidential term, and in Kazakhstan in July.
After launching what the Kremlin insists on calling a “special military operation” in Ukraine, Russia has become increasingly dependent economically on China as Western sanctions cut its access to much of the international trading system. China’s increased trade with Russia, totaling $240 billion last year, has helped the country mitigate some of the worst blows from the sanctions.
Moscow has diverted the bulk of its energy exports to China and relied on Chinese companies to import high-tech components for Russian military industries to circumvent Western sanctions.
The two countries have also deepened their military ties in the last two years.
The BRICS alliance was founded in 2006 by Brazil, Russia, India and China, with South Africa joining in 2010. It has recently undergone an expansion and now includes Iran, Egypt, Ethiopia and the United Arab Emirates. Saudi Arabia has said it’s considering joining, and Azerbaijan and Malaysia have formally applied.
BRICS has a stated aim to amplify the voice of major emerging economies to counterbalance the Western-led global order. Its founding members have called for a fairer world order and the reform of international institutions like the United Nations, the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank.
