The concept of BRIC was first put forward in 200 1 to guide investment. In 2006, the BRICS foreign ministers held their first meeting to discuss cooperation opportunities and start cooperation.
In June 2009, the BRICS countries held their first leaders' meeting in Russia, which marked the start of the BRICS cooperation mechanism and attracted worldwide attention. At that time, the BRICS countries accounted for 26% of the world territory, 42% of the population and 14.6% of GDP.
Since the first meeting in 2009, BRICS leaders have met every year to discuss cooperation issues and make a collective voice to the world economic and political process. What unites the BRICS countries is the common interests of all countries in the global economic and political process. The development of BRICS countries needs to be treated fairly, and the global economic and political environment needs to be fairer and more stable.

Political security is the key to BRICS cooperation. Since its establishment, the BRICS countries have continuously strengthened cooperation in the political and security fields, and strengthened communication and coordination on major international and regional issues by relying on mechanisms such as the meeting of senior security representatives and the meeting of foreign ministers.
It plays a unique and positive role in world peace and stability. Establish cooperation mechanisms such as counter-terrorism and intelligence, promote the consolidation of political and security cooperation, and issue more BRICS voices.
Humanities exchange is the growth point of BRICS cooperation. Since 16, BRICS countries have reached a series of documents on people-to-people exchanges and cooperation. The cooperation between parliaments, political parties, youth, think tanks and local governments has been continuously promoted, and the public opinion base of BRICS cooperation has been increasingly consolidated.
In the last "China Year" of the BRICS countries on 20 17, China, as the host country, carefully created the achievements of humanities cooperation, made humanities exchange the third pillar of BRICS cooperation, and promoted the BRICS mechanism to enter a new stage of "three-wheel drive" from the previous "two-track progress". Humanities exchange and cooperation is a huge growth point of BRICS cooperation.
