China, Brazil, India and South Africa [Editor's paragraph] Background Under the background of the financial crisis, the BRIC countries (China, Brazil, India and Russia, famous for their initials, can be combined into BRICs) once became the focus of media discussion. Before and after the two G20 financial summits (G20 Summit in London and G20 Summit in Pittsburgh), on the issue of the reform of the international financial order, the BRIC countries held many meetings of finance ministers of the four countries to coordinate their positions, express their demands and confront Europe and the United States. On the reform of the IMF and the World Bank, the voting rights of developing countries in the IMF, the supervision and management in the financial field, and so on, * * * issued a unanimous voice, representing emerging economies, and striving for a greater say in developed countries in Europe and America. It is of great significance for BRIC countries to participate in the discussion of international financial order as partners, which indicates a new model of international political and economic system in the future. [Edit this paragraph] The title is 165438+2009 10 month. Facing the global problem of climate change, China, India, Brazil and South Africa, the four most important developing countries, came together and made their debut hand in hand for the first time. 165438+1On the eve of the opening of the Copenhagen conference, representatives of India, Brazil and South Africa gathered in Beijing to discuss their basic positions at this climate conference, and the four countries began to be labeled as "basic four countries".
At the press conference, the four countries agreed that climate change negotiations should be conducted within the framework of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, the Kyoto Protocol and the Bali Road Map. But so far (at the end of February 2009, 65,438+), developed countries are not ready to take enough actions, the intensity of emission reduction is not strong, and the promised funds are far below the needs and expectations of developing countries. Xie Zhenhua, head of the China delegation, said at the meeting that although there are1500 million poor people in China, it has announced the goal of reducing carbon emissions per unit of GDP by 40%-45% by 2020, and established an evaluation and monitoring system for domestic carbon indicators. [Edit this paragraph] In June 5438+February 65438+May 2009, the ministers of the "Basic Four Countries" held a joint press conference for the first time, reiterating their respective positions on the principle of "single track system" and "dual track system". 12 16, the "basic four countries" jointly attacked the president of the general assembly again, forcing the "Danish text" as a complication to withdraw from the normal negotiation process. At the Copenhagen Climate Conference, the emergence of the "basic four countries" once again showed the developed countries the backbone of "holding a group to fight back". Of course, the "basic four countries" are only temporary consultation mechanisms on climate issues among the four countries, and the establishment of regular consultation mechanisms like G7 and G20 depends largely on the number and intensity of the same interests of the "basic four countries".
The course from "BRIC" to "basic four countries" shows that interests will be "divided and reorganized" on different global issues, which once again verifies a wise saying in international relations: there are no eternal friends and enemies, only eternal interests. [Edit this paragraph] June 23, 2009 Comments 65438+February 23, Chairman of the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Rajinder? 9? Pachouri said that the "basic four countries" composed of China, India, Brazil and South Africa have become an important force in Copenhagen, and they may lead the future climate negotiations. Pachouri said in New Delhi: "An important political phenomenon is the rise of Brazil, South Africa, India and China. Undoubtedly, before the conclusion of the Mexico Conference, any agreement needs to take into account the strength of the "basic four countries". "
