The Prime Minister believes that it is necessary to have a global, all-people, comprehensive approach and promote multilateralism, international solidarity, build a world order based on rules, and share common responsibilities to solve unprecedented common challenges. To jointly create a better world, cooperate for peace and prosperity, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh proposed 5 strategic connections. One is resource connectivity, BRICS needs to take the lead in mobilizing, allocating and effectively using resources to adapt to climate change, further developing the green economy, digital economy, circular economy, ensuring food security, energy security and information security. Two is connecting strategic infrastructure, both hard and soft infrastructure. Three is connecting global supply chains on the basis of applying modern science and technology, innovation to create new momentum for economic growth, expanding development space for all countries. Four is connecting people to people through cultural, educational, tourism and people-to-people cooperation between BRICS and other countries to build a cultural space of “unity in diversity”; where different values are respected, similarities are multiplied, where the beauty of friendship and cooperation is cultivated and nurtured; as the great Russian writer Dostoevsky emphasized, “Beauty will save the world”. The fifth is to connect in reforming global governance mechanisms towards connection, sharing, balance, equality, efficiency, inclusiveness, and comprehensiveness for rapid and sustainable development. BRICS needs to fight more strongly against the protectionist trend and politicization of economic, trade, science, technology, and innovation relations.
