Since the beginning of this year, the cooperation among BRICS countries -- Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa -- has maintained sound momentum of development with expanded scope and more outcomes, Xi said while attending a BRICS leaders' meeting on the sidelines of a summit of the Group of 20 (G20) major economies in Hangzhou.
BRICS nations are the leaders among emerging-market economies and developing countries, and also important members of the G20, Xi said, noting that they should reinforce coordination to well build, maintain and develop the BRICS and G20 platforms.
