彭博社记者发言人能否介绍金砖国家扩员情况？新成员加入的标准是什么？哪些国家可能会加入？是否已同某些可能加入的国家进行接触？金砖国家是否已就扩员问题达成一致？

Bloomberg Can you talk a little bit about the BRICS expansion? For example, what would be the criteria for any new members to join? What countries would be potential new members? And have any countries in particular being approached with this potential of joining in mind? Is this something that has been agreed upon within the group?

我想强调的是，金砖国家合作机制自成立以来，就同广大新兴市场和发展中国家的命运紧紧联系在一起。在这次金砖国家外长会晤上，各方就支持推进金砖国家扩员进程达成一致，这充分说明金砖合作是开放的、包容的，金砖国家致力于同其他新兴市场和发展中国家深化合作，金砖机制的吸引力在不断上升。金砖国家将继续扩大同新兴市场和发展中国家团结合作，维护共同发展利益和空间。

I would like to stress that BRICS has been closely linked to the destiny of emerging markets and developing countries since its establishment. At the foreign ministers’ meeting, it was also agreed that efforts should be made to expand the BRICS membership. This shows that BRICS cooperation is open and inclusive, BRICS members hope to deepen cooperation with other emerging markets and developing countries, and that the appeal of the BRICS mechanism is constantly increasing. BRICS countries will continue to enhance solidarity and cooperation with fellow emerging markets and developing countries to jointly safeguard our shared development interests and space.
