On April 30, 2025 local time, 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 15th Meeting of BRICS National Security Advisers and High Representatives on National Security in Brasilia. The meeting conducted in-depth discussions on the role of BRICS countries in mediation and conflict prevention.

Wang Yi said that this year marks the 80th anniversary of the victory of the World Anti-Fascist War and also the 80th anniversary of the founding of the United Nations. Although the world today is far from being tranquil, peace remains the aspiration of the people. Preventing conflicts and achieving peace through mediation and conciliation is the top priority for the vast majority of countries. In terms of mediation and conciliation, BRICS countries have always been at the forefront of the world. From promoting the historic reconciliation between Saudi Arabia and Iran to mediating a ceasefire in Gaza, from facilitating the prisoner exchange between Russia and Ukraine to initiating the Group of Friends for Peace on the Ukraine crisis, BRICS countries have demonstrated positive responsibility and played an irreplaceable role. Wang Yi summarized three experiences and unique advantages of BRICS countries in light of China's practices.

First, no pursuit of any self-interest. BRICS countries are always committed to giving peace a chance and finding ways for political solutions. BRICS countries never seek to interfere in other countries' internal affairs under the guise of mediation, nor do they engage in geopolitical calculations.

Second, upholding objectivity and fairness. BRICS countries make impartial judgments based on the merits of the matter itself, treat the legitimate concerns of all parties fairly, and seek universally accepted solutions. BRICS countries always take the United Nations Charter and universally recognized principles of international law as the benchmark, and oppose any double standards or selective application.

Third, adhering to a comprehensive approach. There are no simple solutions to complex problems, nor "quick fixes" for difficult issues. BRICS countries take a long-term view, going beyond piecemeal crisis management, and patiently seeking comprehensive solutions through quiet diplomacy to eliminate the root causes of conflicts.
