"As long as we follow the BRICS spirit of openness, inclusiveness, cooperation and win-win results, and work together to build closer BRICS partnership, we will surely have the second golden ten years for BRICS cooperation," Xi said.

The foreign guests conveyed greetings from their respective leaders to President Xi, and extended support for China's hosting the upcoming BRICS summit in Xiamen.

The foreign representatives said that BRICS countries should cement unity and cooperation to cope with common challenges in economy and security areas such as anti-globalization and terrorism, and to increase the influence of BRICS in global affairs.

They also agreed to closely work with China to ensure the upcoming summit a success.

Earlier on Friday, Chinese State Councilor Yang Jiechi chaired the seventh meeting of BRICS High Representatives for Security Issues.

Yang called on BRICS countries to take on forward-looking attitudes to forge shared interests and a shared future, and enhance strategic mutual trust and practical cooperation.

BRICS countries should strengthen their collaboration and coordination on major global and regional issues to provide wisdom and efforts of BRICS for resolving the issues, Yang said.

He also called for the maintaining of the international order based on the Charter of the United Nations, sticking to multi-lateralism, and improving global governance.
