Vladivostok, June 17th—The United Russia Party held here today the international inter-party forum in the BRICS and partner countries under the theme of "World Majority for a Multipolar World". Dmitry Medvedev, Chairman of the United Russia Party, and Liu Jianchao, Minister of the International Department of the CPC Central Committee, attended and addressed the function. More than 150 representatives of 30 political parties and international organizations from 28 countries were present.  

Liu said, in today's world, democracy in international relations has become an irresistible trend of the times. The international community's call for fairness and justice is growing louder. However, "countercurrents" such as hegemonism, power politics, unilateralism, and "Cold War mentality" are still raging. Economic globalization is encountering setbacks. The world's multipolarization is facing risks. Peace and development, the themes of our times, are being challenged. Standing at the new historical crossroads, countries are working hard to respond to the question "what has happened to the world, and how should we respond". General Secretary Xi Jinping proposed important propositions such as the concept of building a community with a shared future for mankind and three major global initiatives, which have provided China's perspective and direction for building a new multipolar world order.  

Liu said, after nearly 20 years of development, the BRICS countries have been expanded, with growing international influence and appeal. The BRICS countries have become a key force in shaping the international landscape and ensuring global stability. The BRICS's force supports world stability, its spirit promotes world stability, and its actions maintain world stability. Looking to the future, we must put development first and strive to upgrade BRICS practical cooperation. We need to stay committed to the original aspiration of BRICS, promote the BRICS spirit, and continuously inject fresh impetus into maintaining global peace and stability. The BRICS countries should work together to meet challenges, and inject stability and certainty into the world with more practical actions.  

Liu said, if the BRICS countries are the anchor for the stability in the world, then political parties can be regarded as the core of the anchor. In the face of the profound changes unseen in a century, political parties in various countries should give full play to their advantages as policymakers, representatives and guides of public opinion to ensure that this anchor for the stability remains rock-solid. Political parties must work proactively to expand the "BRICS plus" circle of friends and make the voice of peace, development and progress louder.  

We must beat swords into plowshares and be the defenders of world peace. We must firmly oppose the "new Cold War" and the camp-based division, and oppose any attempts to create security issues for selfish gains or provocative attempts. Instead, we must actively advocate for a fair and orderly multipolarization, and build a multipolar world order based on the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence.  

We must seize the opportunities of our times and act as leaders in global development. We resolutely oppose building fences and barriers, "decoupling and cutting off supply chains", and politicizing and stretching of national security concept. We must vigorously promote a universally beneficial and inclusive economic globalization, and build a multipolar world order based on the principles of seeking win-win outcomes for all as well as extensive consultation, joint contribution and shared benefits.  

We must stand firm and act as defenders of international justice. We unequivocally oppose hegemony and power politics, and firmly safeguard the legitimate rights of the Global South and the common welfare of all humanity, so as to establish a multipolar world order grounded in fairness and justice.  

We must embrace diversity and act as promoters of cultural exchanges. We reject self-imposed isolation and ideological confrontations. We should enrich and improve the global network of dialogue and cooperation among civilizations through more multi-dimensional and diverse exchanges and dialogues, and build a multipolar world order based on harmonious coexistence and mutual learning among different civilizations.  

Political parties and heavyweights from various countries attending the meeting said, the current international landscape is undergoing complex and profound changes. The BRICS countries are playing an increasingly important role on the global stage. The inclusion of more countries into the BRICS family is conducive to building a multipolar world and aligns with the common interests of the international community. Political parties from the BRICS countries and developing countries should join hands, strengthen exchanges and dialogue, expand consensus, and defend the principles of international relations based on the UN Charter and international law. We should uphold true multilateralism, oppose hegemony and power politics, reject unilateralism and neo-colonialism, promote reforms in the global governance system, and promote the building of a more just and equitable new international order.
