The tenth meeting of the BRICs leaders took place from 25 to 27 in Johannesburg, South Africa. This year coincides with the opening year of the second golden ten years of BRICs cooperation, this meeting will be on the theme of "BRIC countries in Africa: conspiracy for growth and common prosperity in the fourth industrial revolution". The leaders will deepen the BRICs strategic partnership, strengthen the cooperation of BRICs, and help the development of the five countries.
From the trend of human development, a reality that can not be ignored is in front of us - from the government to the enterprise and to the individual, the whole world is involved in the fourth industrial revolution either actively or passively or intentionally or unintentionally. Compared with the industrial revolution with "exclusiveness" and "exclusiveness" in the past, the fourth industrial revolution is subverting the forms, division and organization of many existing industries, realizing the integration of many fields, reconstructing people's lives and even changing the relationship between people and the world. This revolution shows more obvious characteristics of shared economy, and will gradually bring mankind into a new era of interconnection of all things under the impetus of globalization. As Schwab, the founder of the world economic forum, said, the fourth industrial revolution blurs the boundaries of the entity, the digital and the biological world. It does not move forward at linear speed, but is growing at a geometric level. In addition, the new industrial revolution almost broke the development model of each industry in each country, and the breadth and depth of these changes indicate that the whole system of production, management and governance is facing subversive changes.
For the emerging market countries and developing countries represented by the BRIC five countries, the fourth industrial revolution is rising, which has gradually brought about new development kinetic energy and brought a golden opportunity for development. The new industry, such as "intelligent manufacturing", "Internet +" and so on, will become a bridge of cross style development. If we seize this opportunity, we may realize "overtaking at bends", and if we miss this opportunity, the gap between the north and the South and the imbalance of development will be further widened. In addition, it is no doubt a strong return to the anti globalization trend of thought and populism and Extremism to promote inclusive growth in the fourth industrial revolution in today's difficult global economy.
For this reason, at this meeting in Johannesburg, BRICS countries will focus on the fourth industrial revolution, seize the opportunity of the new industrial revolution, and enrich the connotation of pragmatic cooperation. Prior to the Johannesburg meeting, China proposed the establishment of a "BRICS New Industrial Revolution Partnership", which has been actively responded by all parties concerned. It can be said that this is the big direction for the BRICs countries to carry out practical cooperation in the field of industry and science and technology in the next ten years, and also one of the prerequisites for building second "gold ten years".
It is pointed out that through the establishment of the "new industrial revolutionary partnership" in the BRIC countries, we can further promote the industrialization process and inclusive growth of the five countries, strengthen cooperation in the fields of innovation and investment, and explore new fields and ways of practical cooperation through extensive distribution in the industrial field, and further tighten the BRICs countries. The link between the BRICs and the BRICs cooperation system will be stable. In the context of the new industrial revolution, deep cooperation between the BRIC countries will further promote joint research and development and innovation in the fields of Internet of things, cloud computing, large data, data analysis, nanotechnology, artificial intelligence, information communication and other fields, and further enhance the infrastructure of information and communication technology between BRICs countries. Establish and interconnect level, jointly promote scientific and technological innovation cooperation, play synergy effect, excavate the new kinetic energy of the BRIC countries, and strengthen the cooperation of innovation and entrepreneurship through technology transfer transformation, science and Technology Park and enterprise cooperation as well as the flow of technical talents.
Looking forward to the next ten years, the global economic governance is likely to form a new pattern, scientific and technological innovation is on the verge of new critical points, and the earth's ecological environment will face new challenges, especially the recent anti globalization trend of thought and protectionism, which has raised the medium-term risks of the world economy and increased the uncertainty of the development of human society, The game of interests and rules is bound to become increasingly fierce, making the external environment of emerging market countries and developing countries more complex and grim. Under such a trend, the BRICs countries should continue to condense consensus, firm confidence, grasp the historical opportunities brought by the new industrial revolution, create a favorable environment for development and strive for greater development, so as to lead the emerging market countries and developing countries to open a path of fair, open, comprehensive and innovative development hand in hand. On the one hand, it contributes to the sustained growth of the world economy, on the other hand, it makes greater contributions to the grand vision of building a community of human destiny.
