Russia is interested in promoting economic cooperation within the BRICS format. Considerable practical achievements have been recently reported in this area, primarily the launch of the New Development Bank (NDB). It has approved seven investment projects in the BRICS countries worth around $1.5 billion. This year, the NDB is to approve a second package of investment projects worth $2.5-$3 billion in total. I am convinced that their implementation will not only be a boost to our economies but will also promote integration between our countries.
我国对深化金砖五国的经济协作保持关注，最近在这方面也取得了实际的进展。首先我要提到的是，新开发银行开始了经营活动，已经批准了7个在金砖国家内实施的投资项目，总造价约为15亿美元。今年，新开发银行还将批准第二批总价为25-30亿美元的投资项目。我相信，这些项目的实施不仅会促进经济的增长，还将有助于我们各国之间的进一步融合。
Russia shares the BRICS countries’ concerns over the unfairness of the global financial and economic architecture, which does not give due regard to the growing weight of the emerging economies. We are ready to work together with our partners to promote international financial regulation reforms and to overcome the excessive domination of the limited number of reserve currencies. We will also work towards a more balanced distribution of quotas and voting shares within the IMF and the World Bank.
当今的全球金融经济架构，并未考虑到发展中国家经济体量。俄罗斯和其他金砖国家一道，对该架构的不公平表示关切。我们愿同伙伴们一起，进一步推进国际金融调控领域的改革，共同克服有限数量的储备货币的过度支配地位，力争在国际货币基金组织和世界银行实现更均衡的配额和票数分配。
I am confident that the BRICS countries will continue to act in a consolidated manner against protectionism and new barriers in global trade. We value the BRICS countries’ consensus on this issue, which allows us to more consistently advocate the foundations of an open, equal and mutually beneficial multilateral trade system and to strengthen the role of the WTO as the key regulator in international trade.
我相信，金砖国家将继续一致反对世界贸易中的保护主义和新的贸易壁垒。我们珍视金砖五国就这个问题形成的共识，这使我们能够一贯坚持开放、平等和互利的多边贸易体系原则，加强世贸组织作为国际贸易重要监管者的作用。
