BRICS Partnership
At the Seventh BRICS Summit held in July 2015, Xi Jinping delivered a speech entitled "Build a Partnership for a Bright Future," in which he called on BRICS countries to build a four-pronged partnership – safeguarding world peace, boosting common development, promoting cultural diversity and strengthening global economic governance. The summit adopted the Strategy for BRICS Economic Partnership, lifting the group's national-level cooperation to a strategic partnership.
At the Ninth BRICS Summit held in September 2017, Xi delivered a speech entitled "Stronger BRICS Partnership for a Brighter Future," in which he hailed BRICS cooperation over the previous 10 years, and called for more efforts to embrace a second "golden decade." He proposed that the BRICS countries seek pragmatic results in economic cooperation, synergize their development strategies, work to make the international order fairer and more just, and increase cultural and people-to-people exchanges, so as to benefit their own people and other peoples around the world.
深化金砖伙伴关系
2015年7月，习近平在金砖国家领导人第七次会晤上发表了题为《共建伙伴关系 共创美好未来》的主旨讲话，就加强金砖国家伙伴关系，提出了“构建维护世界和平的伙伴关系、构建促进共同发展的伙伴关系、构建弘扬多元文明的伙伴关系、构建加强全球经济治理的伙伴关系”等四点主张。此次会晤通过了《金砖国家经济伙伴战略》，这表明金砖国家合作关系由一般国家层面提升到战略伙伴关系。2017年9月，习近平在金砖国家领导人第九次会晤上发表题为《深化金砖伙伴关系 开辟更加光明未来》的讲话，积极评价金砖合作走过的10年光辉历程，强调要开启金砖合作第二个“金色十年”。习近平建议， 金砖国家应致力于推进经济务实合作、致力于加强发展战略对接、致力于推动国际秩序朝更加公正合理方向发展、致力于促进人文民间交流，使金砖合作造福金砖五国人民，惠及各国人民。
