On June 23, 2026, Member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and Director of the Office of the Central Commission for Foreign Affairs Wang Yi attended the Meeting of BRICS National Security Advisors and High Representatives on National Security in New Delhi. The meeting reviewed the outcomes of the BRICS Counter-Terrorism Working Group and Working Group on Security in the Use of ICTs.

Wang Yi stated that, at present, the world is witnessing a new wave of international terrorist activities. The root cause of this is the intensifying confrontation caused by unilateral actions and the increase in inter-civilization and inter-religion tensions. All BRICS countries are victims of terrorism. The bloc should focus on addressing both the symptoms and root causes, adopt comprehensive measures, strengthen counter-terrorism cooperation, make good use of the working group mechanism, deepen intelligence sharing, coordination of operations, and experience exchange, and advance the full implementation of the United Nations Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy. The Chinese side will continue to organize training sessions, seminars and other activities under the framework of the BRICS Counter-Terrorism Working Group.

Wang Yi pointed out that new technologies, represented by artificial intelligence, are profoundly reshaping the cyberspace landscape. Cybersecurity has become a global concern, and the global digital governance deficit is increasing. BRICS countries should jointly safeguard international rules in cyberspace, oppose the deliberate creation of division and confrontation, promote the signing and ratification of the United Nations Convention against Cybercrime by all countries as soon as possible, and actively participate in the international alliance against telecom cyber fraud. BRICS countries should act on the basis of the BRICS Roadmap of Practical Cooperation on Ensuring Security in the Use of ICTs and its progress reports, further leverage the role of the BRICS Working Group, and make plans for cooperation in the next five years. It is necessary to give full play to the positive effects of the “BRICS Plus” model, and continuously consolidate the common position and joint actions of the Global South on cybersecurity issues.

Wang Yi expressed that China stands ready to enhance communication and cooperation with other countries in the fields of counter-terrorism and cybersecurity, promote the quality and efficiency of greater BRICS cooperation, better benefit the people of BRICS countries, and continuously contribute to global security governance.
