Fortaleza, July 15 (Xinhua-RHC) -- Chinese President Xi Jinping has arrived in Brazil to attend the Sixth Summit meeting of leaders of BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa group) to be held in Fortaleza on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Upon his arrival on Monday, Xi noted that BRICS is an important force in international relations and an important constructor of the international system, adding that China firmly supports and actively participates in co-operation among BRICS countries.

The BRICS countries now account for 21 percent of global economic output and have contributed more than 50 percent of world economic growth in the past decade.

Under the theme of "Inclusive Growth: Sustainable Solutions," this year's summit will see the attendance of Xi, Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff, Russian President Vladimir Putin, South African President Jacob Zuma and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. They will also meet leaders of the Union of South American Nations (UNASUR) during the summit.

It is the second time Xi attends the BRICS summit and his second visit to Latin America since he took office last year. His attendance is widely expected to promote co-operation among BRICS countries, boost bilateral ties between China and Latin America as well as China-Latin America relations.
