Security Cooperation of Global South Energy Supply Chain under the BRICS Framework ——Take Arab Countries as an Example

Abstract

The expansion of BRICS contributes to the South-South cooperation of energy supply chain security in the southern countries of the world. The new members of BRICS in Arab countries are not only important consumers of energy demand in China, but also important countries of resource supply. Oil exports are dominant, which forms a complementary pattern with the energy demand of BRICS members. Deepening the participation of Arab countries in the global energy governance system is conducive to stabilizing the safe supply of resources in the energy supply chain, and can also create a diversified and resilient South-South cooperation network for the countries in the south of the world that are "warming up". In the short term, under the geopolitical risk characterized by traditional political and military security and the green energy technology security environment characterized by technological innovation, the opportunities and challenges of energy supply chain cooperation in southern countries of the world coexist. To build a three-dimensional South-South cooperation on BRICS-Arab countries' energy supply chain security, it is necessary to achieve synergy and cooperation among BRICS-Arab countries from the aspects of trade, transportation, logistics, investment and financing, technological innovation and system construction, make use of the means and mechanisms such as strengthening the connection between energy production and consumption, improving the financial and settlement payment systems, and strengthening the coordination of technical standards among countries in the south of the world, so as to build a stable, safe and sustainable new ecology of South-South cooperation in the multi-symbiotic energy supply chain of countries in the south of the world.
